@ -344,6 +344,15 @@ Tunnel Server *maxclients* and Tunnel Client *maxservers*
Use caution when increasing the *maxclients* or *maxservers* values. Enter only *zero* or positive integers up to a maximum value for the number of active connections your node hardware can handle, since each active tunnel connection consumes system resources that the node may need for normal operation.
Low Memory Thresholds
As the number of nodes increases in a mesh network, the processing requirements also increase for displaying all of the mesh routes on your node's *Mesh Status* display. For older nodes with limited memory resources, the mesh status display may become very sluggish on large mesh networks. Recent firmware improvements have made the *Mesh Status* display much more responsive, and two new **Advanced Configuration** values are available for setting the *Low Memory Threshold* and maximum number of routes to be displayed. Currently the default low memory threshold is 10,000 KB, which if reached will limit the *Mesh Status* display to the 1,000 closest routes. These values can be adjusted to lower values if your node has limited memory.

OLSR Restart
The `OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimized_Link_State_Routing_Protocol>`_ process can be restarted when you want your node to rebuild its mesh routing table but you do not want to do a full reboot. Click the *Execute* button to restart OLSR.
