Transparent gateways between OLSR networks

Abstract

Future ad hoc networks will probably see an increasing demand to be able to communicate with external networks. There has already been done research on connecting ad hoc networks with other networks, like the Internet. While one can see that using available connections to external networks to reach other ad hoc networks would be beneficial under certain circumstances, research on this topic has been minimal. In this thesis we look into ways of connecting ad hoc networks using gateways, and analyse possible problems that might occur in such scenarios. We also try to implement one of the solutions, and test its functionallity
