and number of messages exchanged: only particular nodes, the MPR broadcast
control messages to the entire network.
All nodes periodically send HELLO messages to their neighbors (HELLO_
INTERVAL timer) on each node. OLSR uses a single message format, transported
by user datagram protocol (UDP). e header specifies whether the message should

is description is updated each receiving a HELLO message, and old information
