802.11n and full duplex

Hi,

I just want to ask if anybody has already tested some 802.11n hardware.

Does 802.11n provides the full-duplex using several radios?

Best,

Re: 802.11n and full duplex

Hi,
To my understanding,in 802.11s,path selection is intended to create a L2
Routing table,
data is forwarded according to the L2 routing table and bridge table,
but I also notice that OLSR will ultimately update the L3 routing table, by
this I mean
OLSR does not build a L2 routing table for data forwarding use.

Does anyone tell me something about this?
Many thanks in advance.

message type error

Hi,
 
I think there is some bug in the windows version of unik OLSR. I tried to capture the packets usin pcap and also verified by using ethereal. On running the OLSR switch, I can found only Unkown packet or HNA packet with message type no 201 or 202. But when i run OLSR in cygwin, I can get HELLO, TC packets and so on.
 
I think, there is some mistake in type numbering. In my opinion, the type of HELLO has been mistaken from 1 to 201 and TC from 2 to 202 or so on.
 
I may not be correct but I think there is some problem on this. I would be grateful to have any idea about it.

Re: [OLSR-users] message type error

Hi,

201 and 202 are the LQ versions of HELLO and TC. You are mixing
LQ enabled nodes with reguar OLSR nodes.

How does "weight" variable infuence Olsr route Selection

Hi,
 
My question is how the variable "weight" which is in the olsr configuration ( olsrd.conf ) influence route selection. In which case does this works. If we have enabled Link Quality extensions (LinkQualityLevel 2),  this variable supposed to be considered?, or it is used only if we have the hop count metric ( LinkQualityLevel 0 ). Also if we have two 3 hops paths with the same ETX or with the same hop count, i was wondered if the variable "weight" has a role in the selection of the route
 
Thanks for your help

LQ-FishEye + LinkQualityDjikstraLimit

Hello -

I think it should be better communicated on the web page that olsrd only 
works reasonable if ETX/LQ *and*  LinkQualityFishEye is used. Without 
the LinkQualityFishEye-Mechanism and redundant TC-messages (they should 
be more frequent than Hello messages, I'd say two or three times)  olsrd 
creates nice routing tables as long as there is no payload. As soon as 
payload is introduced routes flap and routing loops occur. So it is no 
longer true that LinkQualityFishEye-Mechanism is a experimental feature 
- it was that important missing improvement that made olsr finally 
functional for the Freifunk networks. Since LinkQualityFishEye it is no 
problem anymore to perform a FTP download over a route of 8 hops here in 
Berlin...

I think the configuration-file with ETX/LQ *and*  LinkQualityFishEye in 
/files/ should become the default when performing a make install. 
LinkQualityFishEye is compatible with olsr-nodes that don't use the 
algorithm - but I would recommend to update all nodes in your 
mesh-networks as soon as possible to have the mesh work nicely. See the 
Readme about FishEye. When I was in Dharamsala/India it became obvious 
that the AirJaldi mesh suffered Routing Loops because they didn't know 
how to configure olsrd for stable and reliable routes. They were using 
it with LQ/ETX and  a sliding window size that was too small and didn't 
know about LinkQualityFishEye.

LinkQualityDjikstraLimit is important in large mesh-networks like Berlin 
on embedded systems - otherwise the CPUs will overheat. But the 
implementation in 0.4.10 is still buggy, I think.

I'd suggest is high time to release a new 'stable' release of olsrd - 
there are too many important bugs in 0.4.10 which have been fixed in 
CVS. Last important one was the limitation of 32 hops max. that causes 
olsrd to crash.

I wrote a short text called 'The olsr-story' for www.open-mesh.net - 
Thomas Lopatic read it and we both think it would be a interesting read 
for people interested in the background of the development at Freifunk. 
It will give people a good insight about our experiences and thoughts 
about olsr.

Some people subscribed to the olsr-mailinglists may also be interested 
in the development of the B.A.T.M.A.N routing-daemon that we started 
after olsr-0.4.10.

B.A.T.M.A.N-III-0.1 binaries and sources will be available from December 
13th at www.open-mesh.net. Let's see how it performs in real life :)

I'm still using olsrd-0.5 pre every day - but I'm looking forward to the 
experiences with B.A.T.M.A.N. Gateway switching is a constant annoyance 
in olsrd when using stateful protocols like IM, VOIP etc.

ipv6 patches for olsr nameservice

Hi,

I have a patch to make the olsr name service plugin work with IPv6 at:

http://people.freebsd.org/~jhay/olsrd/patch-lib:nameservice:src:nameservice.c

Most of it is pretty straight forward I think. The biggest change is in
write_resolv_file() where instead of using olsr_lookup_routing_table()
I wrote host_lookup_routing_table() which will look through the "main"
routing table and also through the hna table.

One feature that I still would love is to have a way to dynamically
add entries that the plugin will then propagate into the olsr net and
not have to edit olsr.conf and restart olsrd everytime. Maybe instead
of just copying the "add-hosts" file over to the "hosts-file", to
propagate it into the olsr net as well.

My other patches to make olsr work with ipv6 on FreeBSD is also in
that directory.

John

Re: ipv6 patches for olsr nameservice

Hi John,

I've applied your patches. In cvs HEAD it had to be done pretty much
manually due to the diff from the latest release. Could you please check
out the current version and verify that it works?

Thanks.

Everybody,

Could everyone that has patches they feel should be part of the next
release please check out the 0.4 branch(and preferably HEAD as well) and
see if the fixes are already applied? If not let us know!

Re: ipv6 patches for olsr nameservice

Hi again John,

I've also added your FreeBSD IPv6 patches. Could you also verify these?

Thanks for the contribution!
