[MVMA] Opportunity for Big network test coming!

[William Curtice]

Moe,

The connectivity you show with your traceroute might exist, but I can't
connect to, or display node status pages for the south Dayton nodes.

When viewed from the mesh status page of my services node, I see no remote
nodes beyond XWARN, (unless tunnelled directly to me, and my tunnel to DARA
is down).  I do see the Wilmington and NJ nodes.

When viewed from my Omni's Mesh Status page, the Dayton South nodes
(meaning all the MVHS connected nodes, NC8Q, LRJ, etc) do show up as remote
nodes, but I cannot connect to any of them to bring up their node status
page.

Likewise, I can view the mesh status page of the DARA node connecting to
XWARN, and see the Dayton South nodes as remote nodes, and again, cannot
connect to any of them to display their node status info.

I expect this may be the OLSR Storm block working; I don't know how it
works, but it looks like it blocks mesh status (OLSR) information from
nodes that are more than X hops away.

At this point, I wonder if network connectivity (the ability to both route
AND pass traffic) to these nodes is preserved, even while passing node
status information is blocked.  Your traceroute showed routing
connectivity, and yet I was unable to bring up status pages for any of the
south nodes, even when I could see them as remote nodes on my Omni's Mesh
Status page.
