Hi all,
Many thanks for all your feedbacks. It will definately help us to improve our work. However, I think there is quite a bit of confusions at very beginning. So I would like to make some clarifications for this paper.
As it has been mentioned earlier, this paper was to study all the protocols in their default setting. In term of "default setting" for OLSR, we used original config file shipped in olsr v0.5.5. As far as I know, this config file is based on the LQ mode of OLSR (i.e. olsrd.conf.default.lq ). So, correct me if I am wrong, we have been using OLSR with ETX to begin with. We only modified the HELLO and TC interval to improve static node performance. The results shown in our paper is actually the performance of OLSR with ETX.
Hmm... olsrd.conf.default.lq should be with ETX...
You may also aware the protocols that we used are already out-dated. This is because this work was done back in 2008. We are more than happy to undergo another study with more recent protocols.
The implementation was outdated, not the protocol... but the protocol does only mention hopcount, so most people just use "RFC compatible" OLSR.
I would be interested what config file you used for the test. If you plan to redo the test we (the olsr.org team) would be very interested in getting feedback what kind of problems you have so that we can improve our software.
