I would also be interested in this...

a few years ago I wrote a variant of OLSR (v1) with a semi-reliable
transport (some linklocal retransmission scheme) but stopped working
on the thing because ETX routing metric I had contained too much
change/noise anyways.

Reliability is not that useful if the metric has changed in a relevant
way between two iterations of the update.
