OLSR is an overlay network
Nope -- the express intention was that it could be used for basic IP
connectivity, for mobile devices. In OLSR, every node is a potential IP
forwarder unless it explicitly advertises itself as being unwilling to
forward.
and any machine that participated must have a split personality. First
it must be able to think in terms of the basic local network, and it
must be able to think in terms
of the world from the perspective of the overlay.
Applying routing policy gets more important at the border. The OLSR
implementation in XORP is intended to give people a means of
connectivity between MANET and non-MANET routing domains, by
redistributing routes into the OLSR cloud.
I daresay these capabilities will get more important, and relevant, to
the MANET picture as time goes on, but it's best to leave them out of
the operational picture for now, in my opinion.
