Enabling OLSR

OLSR is an implementation of the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol, an IP routing protocol optimizing wireless mesh networks. A mesh network is a network consisting of two or more nodes, but what makes it unique is the way in which the nodes communicate with each other. The nodes have multiple routes across the network, improving reliability in the face of individual node failures.

This recipe describes how to enable OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing) in pfSense.
