OLSR: Strange HTime value in HELLO messages

I see (in wireshark) that HTime field in OLSR hello messages is 3 times larger than actual hello emission interval. I see this in the code as well: src/routing/olsr/olsr-routing-protocol.cc:1451 hello.SetHTime (Scalar (3) * m_helloInterval); Meanwhile RFC 3626 Page 27 says: HTime This field specifies the HELLO emission interval used by the node on this particular interface, i.e., the time before the transmission of the next HELLO (this information may be used in advanced link sensing, see section 14). The HELLO emission interval is represented by its mantissa (four highest bits of Htime field) and by its exponent (four lowest bits of Htime field). In other words: HELLO emission interval=C*(1+a/16)*2^b [in seconds] Please explain (in the comment inplace) or fix.

(In reply to comment #1) > changeset: 5771:a8245e39c546 You should update reference traces for PCAP based regression tests: $ ./test.py -s routing-olsr-regression FAIL: TestSuite routing-olsr-regression 0 of 1 tests passed (0 passed, 0 skipped, 1 failed, 0 crashed, 0 valgrind errors) To do so you have to: $ cd src/routing/olsr/test/ $ grep "WRITE_VECTORS = false" *.cc hello-regression-test.cc:const bool WRITE_VECTORS = false; tc-regression-test.cc:const bool WRITE_VECTORS = false; Then change these "= false" to "= true" and rerun test suite. Reference PCAP traces will be updated. Revert changes in *.cc files and commit *.pcap ones.
I thought I did commit new pcap files?...
