[Olsr-users] OLSR v1, v2, and virtual interfaces

[Henning Rogge]

Hi,

what kind of virtual interface?

VLAN? Tunnel interface?

The first one should work well with Olsrd2, the second one can be a bit
tricky if the tunnel does not support multicast, but maybe this can be
fixed (by olsrd2 automatically detecting the endpoint address if available).
