[Click] ad hoc routing protocols + performance

[Francis Bogsanyi]

Hi Michael,

This isn't really an answer to your question, but as part of a project 
at Carleton University, I've partially implemented OLSR and integrated 
it with Click.  There's a little more work to be done here before I 
release the code, but you might find it a useful starting point for 
your project.  As a side note, we also intend to use the same code base 
for a XORP implementation of OLSR & I've started some work on that 
integration as well.

I'll try to have something working & posted to the Click mailing list 
by the end of next week.

Regards,
Francis.
