The '''Optimized Link State Routing Protocol''' ('''OLSR''')<ref>RFC 3626</ref> is an [[Internet Protocol|IP]] routing protocol optimized for [[mobile ad hoc network]]s, which can also be used on other [[wireless ad hoc network]]s. OLSR is a proactive [[link-state routing protocol]], which uses ''hello'' and ''topology control'' (TC) messages to discover and then Spreadlinkdisseminate link state information throughout the [[mobile ad hoc network]]. Individual nodes use this topology information to compute next hop destinations for all nodes in the network using shortest hop forwarding paths.
