Hi,
I want to perform a one-hop broadcast in a Mobile ad hoc network through a C program (with java I guess know that it is not possible).
I have to take into account that there exists some routing algo on each node (e.g. olsr) so that all the nodes behave like a mobile router.
SO if I send a message to the network broadcast address (i.e. netaddress OR complementetNetMask) may be all the nodes in the network will receive the message and not just the nodes in my trasmission range.
MY QUESTION IS: is it right to send HELLO messages (using RAW SOCKETS) by setting the TTL to 1? Will the router_nodes drop the table the firts time?
Thank you
