How to set multicast rate ?
Hi all,
In our Freifunk mesh network we run several broadcom devices in adhoc modewith olsr routing.
To move to b43 we did some testing with current OpenWrt trunk and b43.
One crutial observation we made: We were not able to find the knob to change the multicast rate in b43.
Since this is an essential tuning parameter in our current mesh and essential for proper olsr routing.
To be more precise, olsr probing traffic is send out as mulicast traffic, therefore we use a multicast rate
e.g. of 6MBit/sec . so in densed mesh you got only routes with the multicast rate as lower limit.
Is there any secret I missed to change the multicast rate in b43 ?
If this is not implemented so far, what would be a sketch to help here implementing ?
Bye Thomas

Read the documentation for rate_control_send_low() :
