Chapter 3: Plugins

Posted by Mungo under Chapter 3 on March 14th, 2007.

A number of plugins are available for olsrd. Check out the olsr.org website for a complete list. Here a little HOWTO for the network topology visualization plugin

Figure 3.8: An automatically generated OLSR network topology.

Often it is very good for the understanding of a mesh network to have the ability to show the network topology graphically. Olsrd_dot_draw outputs the topology in the dot file format on TCP port 2004. The graphviz tools can then be used to draw the graphs.
