0.4.10 released

Hi all,

olsrd 0.4.10 is finally here!! A big congrats to all the fine people
that have contributed to this fine piece of software :-)
Release cycles are not as short as they used to be. It's actually
been 9 months to the day since 0.4.9 was released. But lots of people
use the current CVS version, and the amount of showstopping bugs are
fewer and fewer therefore we have had no rush getting this release out.
But now it is finally here and I think we all have great belive in this
release. Read more about the changes, bugfixes and new features in
the CHANGELOG file that is distributed with olsrd.
Now run along and download:
http://www.olsr.org/index.cgi?action=download
At the current time only source tarballs and win32 installer/zip is
available. I will add other packages as soon as the maintainers
build them.

But there is more to it! This release takes olsrd to a crossroad.
Development of a new series, namely 0.5, will start right now and this
will be an exciting turn for the project.
Work will continue on the 0.4 series, but this will mainly be bugfixing.
0.4 will keep the OLSR compability that we have now. This means that it
should interop with RFC3626 implementations(if not using the LQ
extentions). It also means that there will probably be more 0.4.1x
releases for those interested in pure OLSR. I have created a olsr_04
branch in CVS in which 0.4 development will continue. CVS HEAD is
now 0.5.
As for the 0.5 series we will no longer strive to keep OLSR compability.
Olsrd has been well tested and I belive that most of you running it
in medium to large real-life networks agree that ad-hoc routing in

Olsrd has been well tested and I belive that most of you running it
in medium to large real-life networks agree that ad-hoc routing in
wireless networks based only on hopcount is not the future. Therefore
the 0.5 series will be more experimental and hopefully turn into
something rather different(a namechange might be considered at a later
stage) based on the interesting work done in Berlin(c-base).

A happy new year to you all and happy routing!

Re: OLSR and QOLSR simulation whit OPNET

Hi Salma,
 
I hope to be doing the same soon also. Unfortunately only starting my research now, so I probably can't help much but I'll try. What is the problem that you're having with QOLSR on OPNET?

hi all
i'm using the OPNET simulator tu simulate the OLSR and
QOLSR protocol available at the lRI site.
the OLSR protocol works well but i have a problem when
running the simulation of the qOSLR .
has anyone already worked with these version of OLSR
under OPNET?

thanks
Salma

Yeah, I used the term "node discovery" abiguously. As you said, one 
aspect is Layer 2 (which olsr doesnt handle) and the other aspect is IP. 
As soon as an interface is present and configured, olsr can do its magic.

Luckily, olsr can deal with dynamic interface creation, so that I can 
tell it do work on interface that could be created as soon as a 
connection is established.

In other words: olsr can deal with bluetooth ad-hoc networks; but I 
couldnt find any bluetooth app that automatically connects to devices in 
its neighbourhood... which means I have to hack one together, propably 
based on pand.

I'll let you know if I get it to work.

status of osx/bsd port

hi

i'm not quite certain about the status of olsrd on osx/bsd. yesterday  
i tried to get olsrd/osx to talk to olsrd on a linksys wrt54gs on  
freifunk 1.1. using ethereal i could see that there was traffic on my  
wlan interface but neither of the olsrds seemd to realize that it hat  
a fellow. these are the symptoms:

1. startup:
Checking en1:
         Not a wireless interface
         Metric: 6
         MTU - IPhdr: 1472
         Index 0
         Address:10.247.200.4
         Netmask:255.255.0.0
         Broadcast address:10.247.255.255
so. olsrd/osx seems to think that airport extreme is wired. weird...  
(yes i am sure that en1 really is the wlan interface).

2. olsrd/osx sent "HELLO" constantly. seems to be okay (?).

3. olsrd/osx "Received HNA from NON SYM neighbor xx.xxx.xx.xxx"
problem here: olsrd/osx does not set any routing entries. is this a  
known problem?

4. olsrd/osx "Unknown type: 201, size 20, from xx.xxx.xx.xx"
possibly a plugin active on the linksys?

5. if i browse to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ i don's see any links/ 
neighbors/topology-/hna-/mid-/entries. just empty tables... same  
thing if i look at the status page of the linksys.

system infos:
apple powerbook 12" / osx 10.4.3, airport extreme,
olsrd 0.5.0-pre (from cvs),
olsrd 0.4.10 from http://www.fernsehsofa.de/olsr/ (this puzzles me:  
does it actually work for the author or did he just compile it?),
linksys wrt54gs, freifunk 1.1

any clues? is it suposed to work on osx or does it just compile? what  
about earlier versions?

Are you sure you are running in LQ mode?

Re: status of osx/bsd port

Let me be a bit more thorough in my answer :-)
It looks like there is a 99.9% chance that you are not using the
LQ extentions while trying to join a LQ enabled network(LQ mode means
setting LinkQualityLevel to 2 in the config file).

Inline are some answers to your points:

HW detection does not work on OSX. It has no problematic effects.

> 2. olsrd/osx sent "HELLO" constantly. seems to be okay (?).

That's how OLSR works :-)

> known problem?

This would be a direct result of you not using LQ. You'll still recieve
MID/HNA but you have no registered neighbors.

> 4. olsrd/osx "Unknown type: 201, size 20, from xx.xxx.xx.xx"

201 is the LQ HELLO message. If you run RFC3626 mode(none LQ) then
you expect ID 1 for HELLO.

So I'm ready to bet a couple of beers that setting
LinkQualityLevel  2
on your mac solves the problems.

Re: status of osx/bsd port

Hi Lorenz,

OS X is supposed to work. We had 0.4.10 work successfully on one OS X
system during CCC in Berlin. I know that one system doesn't mean all
systems, but, well, at least we were positive that olsrd runs on OS X in
general. :-)

The "unknown type" message hints at the problem. 201 is the type of LQ
HELLO messages. So, the OS X node does not know how to interpret LQ HELLO
messages. My guess would be that the OS X node has the link quality
extensions switched off. Could that be the case?

For link quality, we use our own proprietary OLSR messages (with their own
types), namely we replace HELLOs (type 1) and TCs (type 2) by LQ HELLOs
(type 201) and LQ TCs (type 202), that are almost identical to HELLOs and
TCs but, in addition, carry information about link qualities.

Re: status of osx/bsd port

lq helped :). sorry i'm too fresh to olsr. routing is set correctly  
now but i think the gateway/dns still does not make it into the  
system. ping 216.239.57.104 fails. in contrast if i setup the gateway  
and dns address manually things work like expected... i'm digging now  
into the nameservice plugin... do we have an irc channel?
