OLSR daemon project is an implementation of the Optimized Link State Routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs).

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. olsrd also implements a popular optional link quality extension. Currently the implementation compiles on GNU/Linux, Windows, OS X, FreeBSD and NetBSD systems.

Olsrd is ment to be a well structured and well coded implementation that should be easy to maintain, expand and port to other platforms. The implementation is RFC3626 compliant with respect to both core and auxiliary functioning.

Olsrd supports use of loadable plugins. These can be used to to handle and generate custom packettypes to be carried by OLSRs MPR flooding scheme or for any other desired functioning.

What's New in This Release:
Network simulator (olsr_switch) added. Read more in the README file included in the release.
New experimental fish eye link distribution algorithm. Read more in the README file included in the release.
Tiny Application Server(TAS) plugin added
Plugin interface changes. Olsrd now exports all symbols mening that plugins can access all olsrd functions easily.
Olsrd now builds and runs on OpenBSD
Build system rewrites(OS detection is now done automagically)
Lots of bugfixes and minor changes
