Qolyester is a C-based software that implements the OLSR protocol designed for mobile wireless ad hoc networks.
QOLSR is a highly efficient extension of the OLSR protocol that enhances the Quality of Service (QoS) delivery. This extension ensures that minimal additional control traffic is generated by only augmenting HELLO and TC messages, just like in the standard OLSR. The link state information generated in this protocol is only by selected nodes acting as MPRs and is used for the calculation of routes.
With QOLSR, only partial link state data is required to be flooded in order to provide the best application paths, which leads to higher optimization of routes. This protocol does not require any alteration of IP packet formats, and any existing IP stack can be used. Additionally, it interfaces only with kernel routing table management, which makes it highly efficient.
The initial IETF manet drafts of QOLSR have been submitted as experiments, and research on this protocol continues. The minor bug fixes in the latest release further improve the overall performance and reliability of QOLSR.
Overall, QOLSR offers a much-needed solution for QoS delivery in OLSR, reducing control traffic while providing optimal application paths. Its compatibility with the existing IP stack makes it easily deployable, and with its ongoing research, it is bound to remain relevant in the dynamic world of networking protocols.
