Welcome to OLSR-PAA project web page

Olsr ProActive Autoconfig is a software solution to enable IPv4 address autoconfig in a ad hoc/mesh network using the flooding mechanism in olsr.org

PAA consists of two parts:

PAA daemon
PAA plugin for olsr.org

PAA daemon

The PAA daemon act as server or client. In client mode it “probes” the network for other PAA daemons in server mode willing to give it an address. In server mode it serves requests from PAA daemon client instances.

PAA plugin

The PAA plugin is a plugin for olsr.org routing daemon and is responsible to flood address requests and DAD (Duplicate Address Detection) requests in the network on behalf of PAA daemon.

Currently the stable version of this plugin only works with olsr version 0.4.3.
If you want to test it using olsrd-0.5.x try building the SVN trunk (reports and feedbacks are welcome)
