[Olsr-users] Incorrect topology output from netjsoninfo (v0.14.1)

[Henning Rogge]

Hi,

most likely you run Olsrd2 with the MPR plugin (which is active by
default), which job is reducing the topology to the links you need for
the optimal paths to the targets.

If MPR is running (check by running "<olsrd2-executable> --version")
you can expect only seeing the reduced topology, because netjsoninfo
is only outputting the local knowledge.

version 0.13.0 did not have the MPR plugin by default.

Could this be the reason for the observed behavior?
