<div>1. The project description states: "<span
class="Apple-style-span"
style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">In
order to better display traffic flows in freimap, they should be drawn
along the actual route the packets take." My question is, how are
traffic flows in freimap currently displayed if not along the packets'
route?</span></div>

In cc there is the creator of Freimap software that can answer you to
this question.<br>

What is the specific main objective of this project? It sounds to me
like this project focuses on improving the visualization ability of
freimap for a network's topology using the B.A.T.M.A.N and OLSR routing
protocols. Is this correct? I have recently completed a networks course
at school and am very interested in studying routing protocols.</span></div>

Yes, it's correct. Good if you're interested in studiyng routing
protocols.<br>
You can have more informations about OLSR and B.A.T.M.A.N here [0] [1]

<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="sans-serif"><span
class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">3. I'm also
wondering about more information about manipulating the configuration
file. I have read [0], but I was wondering if there were other data
sources available.</span></font></div>
</blockquote>
Well, you can find an example of NameServiceDatasouce here [4] but you
need to have an OLSR network. In the new Freimap the configuration file
has been deleted and the software automatically detect the possibile
datasource (MySql, file or OLSR). I'd rather go in this direction...<br>
<br>
Ciao!<br>
