Kind of.  If the mesh nodes pushing the packets have a fair amount of
RAM olsrd is okay.  The thing about that particular protocol is that
it tries to replicate the entire routing table to each node, which is
inefficient because then you have nodes that have routes for machines
they can't reach directly and have to count on closer nodes to relay
for them anyway.  They're also just getting loop avoidance working,
and routing loops can deadlock a mesh.
