However, dropping or suspending should only be applied to OGMs from
non-neighboring nodes, otherwise it also affects the bidirectional link check
which would result in a confusing side-effect, marking even more packets as
invalid.
In parallel it might be beneficial to configure different originator intervals
for particular interfaces. For example for a vpn connection a very large
originator interval (with a small TTL would be sufficient) since its
link-quality is not supposed to change anyway (and causing less traffic to
the vpn).

If I have multiple connections between two nodes,
is there a way to
setup the quality or
priority of those connection?
Same goes for Leipzig, we have our vpn[1,2].leipzig.freifunk.net nodes.
I thought about this problem a lot and the simplest solution would be to
simply drop like 9 of 10 batman packets on the outgoing vpn interface.
this is like a olsr multiplicator of 10 with the advantage that it saves
bandwith.
