txtinfo and jsoninfo should deliver the second and third one... (olsrd
has no concept of linklayer data)

Still, olsrv1 also lacks link-specific information about its two-hop neighbors.

the first would be a combination of "layer2info" and "nhdpinfo", the
second one would be "nhdpinfo" only and the third one is "olsrv2info".

I am already using the same data-sources as nhdpinfo/olsrv2info to
build my current netjson output. I am not sure what you are looking
for.

I think all of them ARE interesting, it depends what you want to do.

If you want to visualize the local knowledge of a node, got for the
node- but not link-specific topology data.

If you combine information from all mesh nodes, go for the link-set of
neighbors and build you own image.
