Line 3:

The advantage of this approach is that connections are made quickly. The disadvantage is that the communication to discover network members occurs continuously. Also, calculation and memory burdens are continuing, and may be too heavy for small computers. The program is fairly large and complex.

OLSR is one of two conventionalseveral solutions to this problem. The otherAnother is [[AODV]], a [[distance vector routing protocol]] solving the same problem. Distance vector routing is simpler, requires less memory and calculation, but requires more delay, and when a route is needed, communication is much heavier. Another is [[Dynamic Source Routing]], which substantially optmizes the network traffic. For other alternatives see the [[Ad hoc protocol list]].
