Objective
The objective of this experiment is to create a mesh network using the protocol:Optimized Link State Routing protocol (OLSR).
As equipment, we used the Linksys Access Point.
Description of the procedures
- Configure the OLSR
OLSR daemon is an implementation of the Optimized Link State Routing protocol. OLSR is a routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks. The protocol is pro-active, table driven and utilizes a technique called multipoint relaying for message flooding.
To configure OLSR on the wired network, the following steps were taken:
- Download the OLSR deb packages from the OLSR site.OLSR Package and OLSR Plugins. The package was used to flash the Access Point.
- Install the deb packages on the Ubuntu workstation.
- Configure the file /etc/olsrd.conf by setting the given parameters to the experiment values.
- Start the OLSR deamon using the command: $sudo olsrd
- Check the routing table using the command: $sudo olsrd -d 4
