Link Metrics for the Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocol OLSRv2 - Rationale
RFC 7185, “Link Metrics for the Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocol OLSRv2 - Rationale”, is an Informational document published in April 2014 by C. Dearlove, T. Clausen, P. Jacquet. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2 (OLSRv2) includes the ability to assign metrics to links and to use those metrics to allow routing by other than minimum hop count routes. This document provides a historic record of the rationale for, and design considerations behind, how link metrics were included in OLSRv2.
