QOLSR is a QoS extension introduced to the OLSR protocol. Almost no additional control traffic is generated (only augmented HELLO and TC messages).

Like in standard OLSR, link state information is generated only by nodes selected as MPRs. This information is then used for route calculation. QOLSR requires only partial link state to be flooded in order to provide optimal paths in terms of application requirements.

QOLSR does not require any changes to the format of IP packets, thus any existing IP stack can be used and the protocol only interacts with kernel routing table management.

First IETF manet drafts have been submitted as experiments and research go on.
