Detailed Description

There is one Face per physical if/vif which OLSR is configured to run on.

Whilst an IPv4 interface may have multiple addresses, OLSR uses IPv4 addresses as primary keys in the protocol. Therefore it is necessary to track the first configured address on each vif, and use that as the Face's address. This happens in the absence of any IPv4 link-scope addresses as the system does not have any concept of such things. This may be considered the same limitation as IGMP has.

The analogue in XORP's OSPF implementation is class Peer. Unlike OSPF, we do not split Face in the same way as Peer/PeerOut are split, as there is no concept of Areas in version 1 of OLSR.

A face is associated with Links to each Neighbor. An instance of Olsr must have at least one Face configured to run Olsr, otherwise, it isn't an Olsr router. If no Faces exist, OLSR is not active. If only one Face exists, only a subset of the full OLSR protocol is used.

void  set_enabled (bool value)

set_enabled

Set the "administratively up" state of an OLSR interface.

Parameters:

valuetrue if this interface is enabled for OLSR, otherwise false.
inline void  set_all_nodes_addr (const IPv4& all_nodes_addr)

set_all_nodes_addr

Set the "all nodes" address for this OLSR interface.

Parameters:

all_nodes_addrthe "all nodes" address to set.
inline void  set_all_nodes_port (const uint16_t all_nodes_port)

set_all_nodes_port

Set the "all nodes" UDP port for this OLSR interface.

Parameters:

all_nodes_portthe "all nodes" port to set.
inline void  set_local_addr (const IPv4& local_addr)

set_local_addr

Set the local address for this OLSR interface.

Parameters:

local_addrthe local address to set.
inline void  set_local_port (const uint16_t local_port)

set_local_port

Set the UDP local port for this OLSR interface.

Parameters:

local_portthe local port to set.
inline void  set_cost (int cost)

set_cost

Set the shortest path tree cost for this OLSR interface.

Parameters:

costthe cost to set.
bool  transmit (uint8_t* data, const uint32_t& len)

transmit

Transmit a datagram on this Face.

Parameters:

datathe datagram to be sent.
lenthe length of the datagram to be sent.

Returns: true if the datagram was successfully transmitted.

void  originate_hello ()

originate_hello

Originate a HELLO message on this interface.

The message thus originated will be filled out appropriately, containing the relevant OLSR protocol state as seen from this Face.

TODO: Perform MTU-based message segmentation.
