[Click] ad hoc routing protocols + performance

[Michael Voorhaen]

Hi,

For a european project we are looking at several ways to implement the 
routing protocol and click is one of the possibilities. We are currently 
targeting OLSR as the candidate protocol. We are wondering if running 
the entire protocol in kernel space would put a burden on the 
forwarding. The fear of one of our partners is that the constant 
(re)computations of the routing tables would interfere with the 
forwarding since everything would be running in one process inside the 
kernel.
Does anybody now if this could be a real problem and if so are there any 
ways inside click to circumvent this problem?

Best Regards,
Michael
