All:

I received this implementation report from Amir (INRIA) re. OLSR.
Have already added to implementation web page as well.

>   Linux (kernel 2.2.12) implementation: all features + optimizations
>   FreeBSD 3.3 implementation: all features
>   Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 4+): all features
>   Windows 98: experimental

>5. Features Implemented or more importantly NOT implemented 
>  (e.g., multicast extensions not implemented, all but caching feature y) 
>
>   Sleep mode operation not yet implemented.
>
>   Bridges to access remote wireless LANs via a wired network
>   implemented for Linux.

>   Current implementation does not require that all nodes be routers. It
>   allows some nodes to receive/send their packets but do not act as a
>   router (ref: HIPERLAN type 1 standard).

>
>   Protocol implemented at MAC level. IP packets are encapsulated in
>   protocol's specific headers. Implementation of the protocol at IP
>   level on its way under the PRIMA project. Implementation on IPv6 is 
>   also under process.
