Use link quality for grading links #74

Closed smsearcy closed 1 year ago

Instead of using OLSR cost, link quality (or average of LQ and NLQ), when available). This has the advantage of being easier to explain and having a more linear gradient.

This might be worth a setting, so installations can choose which display to use. Using link quality could make asymmetric links trickier to identify. Maybe I can make that line dashed?

I'm going to cancel this for now. The link cost is representative of the link quality. If the real goal is better identifying problematic links, that can be solved by adjusting what is considered a "bad" link (and switching from pure gradient to color steps).
