Discussion:
2 hop nodes cost and packet loss

Hi,

i am developing a testbed using OLSR on PCEngine Alix with Debian, i have 6
nodes as the part of the experiment, i initially used v0.5 version later
moved to v0.6.5.2, i have enclosed the setup topology.

I have a gateway 192.168.0.210

1 Hop Nodes 192.168.0.196, 192.168.0.198, 192.168.0.199

2 Hop Nodes 192.168.0.197, 192.168.0.200

i dont have any issues with the 1 Hop nodes with the current configuration
setup, but when it comes to 2 Hop nodes the cost goes to infinite most of
the time even though they are in range with 1 hop nodes.

Also when they establish the link, i have lot of packet losses and link is
not stable for longer duration's. (I can Ping most of the nodes with
variable latency like 6ms, 24ms. 43ms, 63ms, 6ms, 20ms from one packet to
packet). I cant access most of the websites, tested with wget, after
resolving the domain it says no route to host.

please advice

I think the problems you have are related to bad links, not to OLSR.
But olsrd could do a better job selecting less lossy links, e.g. a 2-hop cost=2 path would perform far better than a 1-hop cost=1.7 path.

Is the distance between your nodes within a range what your wifi cards support?

i am developing a testbed using OLSR on PCEngine Alix with Debian, i
have 6 nodes as the part of the experiment, i initially used v0.5

I have a gateway 192.168.0.210

2 Hop Nodes 192.168.0.197, 192.168.0.200
i dont have any issues with the 1 Hop nodes with the current
configuration setup, but when it comes to 2 Hop nodes the cost goes to
infinite most of the time even though they are in range with 1 hop nodes.
Also when they establish the link, i have lot of packet losses and link

Can you reproduce the problem with the "minimal freifunk configuration"?

Hi,

initially i tried with the minimal configuration with the same issues,
later i modified the configuration file to improve the performance.

Also when they establish the link, i have lot of packet losses and link
is not stable for longer duration's. (I can Ping most of the nodes with
variable latency like 6ms, 24ms. 43ms, 63ms, 6ms, 20ms from one packet
to packet). I cant access most of the websites, tested with wget, after
resolving the domain it says no route to host.
Can you reproduce the problem with the "minimal freifunk configuration"?

Okay...

I would suggest doing the tests with this "minimal" configuration.
Keeps the chance higher that we find the problem.

Can you please run a "/route" command in the txtinfo plugin too?

Hi,
initially i tried with the minimal configuration with the same issues, later
i modified the configuration file to improve the performance.

Hi,
i am developing a testbed using OLSR on PCEngine Alix with Debian, i
have 6 nodes as the part of the experiment, i initially used v0.5
version later moved to v0.6.5.2, i have enclosed the setup topology.
I have a gateway 192.168.0.210
1 Hop Nodes 192.168.0.196, 192.168.0.198, 192.168.0.199
2 Hop Nodes 192.168.0.197, 192.168.0.200
i dont have any issues with the 1 Hop nodes with the current
configuration setup, but when it comes to 2 Hop nodes the cost goes to
infinite most of the time even though they are in range with 1 hop nodes.
Also when they establish the link, i have lot of packet losses and link
is not stable for longer duration's. (I can Ping most of the nodes with
variable latency like 6ms, 24ms. 43ms, 63ms, 6ms, 20ms from one packet

Hi,

here are the routes, i see one of the 2 hop node is not in the routing
table, node 192.168.0.197 is routing through 192.168.0.196 node to internet

OLSR Routes in Kernel
Destination Gateway Metric ETX Interface
192.168.0.196 192.168.0.196 1 1.226 ath6
192.168.0.197 192.168.0.196 2 2.915 ath6
192.168.0.198 192.168.0.198 1 1.256 ath6
192.168.0.199 192.168.0.199 1 1.104 ath6

Hmm...

it looks like some of your links are really unstable.

the routing table below says the total cost from 200 over 196 to 197
is ~3 (one in three attempts without retransmissions would get
through).

But the topology table above says (same links, just some time ago):
192.168.0.200 192.168.0.196 (0.580/0.497) 3.459
192.168.0.196 192.168.0.200 (0.497/0.748) 2.681

192.168.0.197 192.168.0.196 (1.000/0.905) 1.104
192.168.0.196 192.168.0.197 (1.000/1.000) 1.000

Which means that even the best two-hop connection is really bad (ETX
of 3.5 on a single link is bad).

I wonder how much these ETX values fluctuate...
