OLSR Mesh

Optimized Link State Routing Protocol and http://www.olsr.org/

Mesh networks self-arrange and auto-configure themselves on the basis of network topology changes. For example, the properly configured OLSR mesh will automatically arrange itself in cases where one node fails, or when a new route emerges, or when a low traffic route becomes available or disappears. The concept of a mesh network is not new; the Internet itself is a huge mesh network. So what's new? Well, mesh networks with wireless technology on OpenWrt simply rocks! ;)

OLSR is one of the routing protocols available to create a Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET), or rather, in more general terms, a wireless mesh network. The OLSR code developed by Andreas Tønnesen is the best suited for our case as packages have been created for OpenWrt.

This wiki page contains information on how to create an OLSR mesh network by configuring OpenWrt and olsrd (the OLSR daemon process) yourself. If your objective is to get an OLSR network quickly running, you may want to have a look at firmware that has been specifically created for this purpose. An example of this sort of firmare is the Freifunk project. If you're determined to get OLSR running on OpenWrt without the assistance of pre-packaged firmare, keep reading! olsrd 0.6.1-3 Name Size Description olsrd 108257 OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing) daemon olsrd-mod-dyn-gw-plain 2902 Dynamic internet gateway plain plugin olsrd-mod-bmf 12106 Basic multicast forwarding plugin, dependece: kmod-tun olsrd-mod-httpinfo 23831 Small informative web server plugin olsrd-mod-quagga 5848 Quagga plugin olsrd-mod-dyn-gw 4348 Dynamic internet gateway plugin olsrd-mod-txtinfo 6201 Small informative web server plugin olsrd-mod-nameservice 11511 Lightweight hostname resolver plugin olsrd-mod-dot-draw 4233 Dot topology information plugin olsrd-mod-mdns 5648 Multicast DNS plugin olsrd-mod-watchdog 2316 Watchdog plugin olsrd-mod-arprefresh 2703 Kernel ARP cache refresh plugin olsrd-mod-p2pd 8066 Peer to Peer Discovery plugin olsrd-mod-secure 9710 Message signing plugin to secure routing domain The Network

There are an infinite number of ways that a mesh network can be configured; below is a simple example that allows routing over a set of subnets in the 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 range through the OLSR mesh.

     WAN                                                 WAN
      |                                                   |

OpenWrt + OLSR Node 1 ---- wireless link ---- OpenWrt + OLSR Node 2

      |                                                   |
     LAN                                                 LAN
      |                                                   |
 Workstation A                                      Workstation B

Both nodes (in this case the wrt54gl was used) need to have OLSR installed. In general, OLSR will have to be installed on any node that participates in establishing routing between the OLSR-aware subnets that you configure. OLSR needs to be configured to listen on all WIFI interfaces on these routers. Running it on wired interfaces is usually not necessary, and according to some sources may interfere with other services on these interfaces such as DHCP.

If the "wired" interfaces on your router are on a different subnet from the wireless interfaces you can configure OLSR to distribute host and network association (HNA) messages to other routers. Depending on if if you are running IPv4 or IPv6 you will either have Hna4 or Hna6 directives in your /?/olsrd.conf configuration file.

HOW TO

   separate the wireless and lan interface in /etc/config/network again, by default they are bridged
   configure the WNICs to work in adhoc-mode. Your file /etc/config/wireless might look as follows:

   config wifi-device  wl0
           option type     broadcom
           option channel  11
           # disable radio to prevent an open ap after reflashing:
           option disabled 0

   config wifi-iface
           option device   wl0
           # option network        lan
           option mode     adhoc
           option ssid     OLSR
           option hidden   0
           option encryption none

   install olsrd

     opkg update
     opkg install olsrd

   Edit the /etc/olsrd.conf and replace "Interface "XXX" with the wireless interface on your router. Example

   {
   	PlParam		"port"	"1979"
   	PlParam		"Net"	"0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0"
   }

   firewall, allow the router to forward packets between the interfaces, example:

   #!/bin/sh

   # Copyright (C) 2006 OpenWrt.org

   iptables -F input_rule
   iptables -F output_rule
   iptables -F forwarding_rule
   iptables -t nat -F prerouting_rule
   iptables -t nat -F postrouting_rule

   # The following chains are for traffic directed at the IP of the
   # WAN interface

   iptables -F input_wan
   iptables -F forwarding_wan
   iptables -t nat -F prerouting_wan

   # Does anyone have a command to get the name of the WIFI interface on Kamikaze so
   # that it doesn't have to be hard-coded here?  This is a bit sloppy it seems.
   WIFI=wl0

   iptables        -A input_wan      -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

   # Allow connections to olsr info port.
   iptables        -A input_wan      -p tcp --dport 1979 -j ACCEPT

   # OLSR needs port 698 to transmit state messages.
   iptables -A input_rule -p udp --dport 698 -j ACCEPT

   # Debugging... do we have WIFI, LAN and WAN appropriately defined?
   # These values are passed to us from /etc/init.d/firewall, which
   # calls this script.

   # echo WIFI == $WIFI
   # echo LAN == $LAN
   # echo WAN == $WAN

   iptables -A forwarding_rule -i $WAN -o $WIFI -j ACCEPT

   iptables -A forwarding_rule -i $WIFI -o $WAN -j ACCEPT

   # For forwarding LAN & WIFI in nodes
   iptables -A forwarding_rule -i $LAN -o $WIFI -j ACCEPT

   # For WIFI clients to connect to nodes.
   iptables -A forwarding_rule -i $WIFI -o $WIFI -j ACCEPT

   # For connecting a wired lan client of node 1 to wired lan client of node 2
   iptables -A forwarding_rule -i $LAN -o $LAN -j ACCEPT

   # WIFI needs to go to LAN ports, too!
   iptables -A forwarding_rule -i $WIFI -o $LAN -j ACCEPT

   start olsrd

   /etc/init.d/olsrd start
   /etc/init.d/olsrd enable

Reboot your router and test everything by pinging interfaces on the different devices. Go and have a beverage of choice to celebrate! After basic configuration

You may want to check out some of the plugins that are easy to configure and show you the basic status of your mesh. On my network I run olsrd-mod-httpinfo, which provides a basic http server that shows you the status of the mesh. References

   Master's thesis of primary developer of olsrd - should be read before attempting to install OLSR if you aren't clear on the fundamentals of how it works
   Manual for Kamikaze by one of the developers - great reference on networking interface configuration and other parts of the OpenWrt system
