[Xorp-hackers] XORP enhancement for wireless mesh network routing

Hi All,
 
Attached a patch for XORP 1.8.5 to support wireless mesh network routing.
 
The problem of XORP for wireless mesh network is routes in wireless mesh
netwrok are host routes, which means the next hop of a route is not in the
same sub-net of the interface. For example, in a wireless mesh network which
has two nodes, node 1 eth0 configured to 10.0.0.1/32 and node 2 eth0
configured to 192.168.0.1/32.
For node 1, the route -- destination net: 192.168.0.1/32 next hop:
192.168.0.1/32 interface: eth0 is a valid route.
 
Currently, there is only one wireless routing protocol (OLSR) integreated in
XORP which hit by the problem. But there are many people developing other
wireless routing protocols for XORP now and will face this problem.
