It just so happens that we have a comparable system in production today: 
it uses olsrd v1 with the multi-smart-gateway tunnel system I 
implemented, together with LTE, SatCom, tethered USB phones/tablets and 
fixed-cable connections, all hot-pluggable.

The multi-smart-gateway tunnel system is a precursor to full multipath 
usage, which is on the roadmap for future usage.

I can probably share our configs but will have to look into that. No 
promises.
