I was running olsrd on the XO (B2 machine) in our ~ 300 node network.
CPU load was a bit high for the B2 machine. Sure, we are going to  
reduce the cpu load massively
(https://wiki.funkfeuer.at:443/index.php/OLSR-NG) in olsrd. But  
nevertheless, I see olsrd , b.a.t.m.a.n., ospf, etc etc. as a  
*potential* "exterior" protocol on the school server (and not so much  
on the XO).
I think it would be nice to have the *option* of connecting schools  
between each other with some kind of exterior protocol.

For olsrd I know that it would be good for example to HNA announce  
the 802.11s mesh automatically. So, I can
see lots of integration work actually. That is what I actually meant  
by "gateway".
So maybe "integration" would be a better term.

Well, anyway... see this approach it as an option or an experiment. :)
AFAIK nothing will beat the 802.11s features so far anyway.

all the best,
a.
