Subject: [aodvv2-discuss] Re: Justin's review
Hi all,
Just wanted to point out that Justin's original comment was on the Multicast
Route Message Table, on the TargPrefixLen entry. The description effectively
says its TargPrefixLen from a RREP, and I think Justin's comment was asking us
to make it clear what this value should be if the message was a RREQ.
"(this seems like an entry that would always be full 1s on a route request if
true that should be stated to make things more clear JWD)"
The RREQ should only be requesting a route for a unicast address. Specifying
subnet RREQ is not part of the current draft.
I don't think that TargPrefixLen should appear at all in RREQ.
Is that so? I'm sure there are use cases which require RREQs for entire
subnets, but if we don't want to support that we'd have to make that more clear.
I am pretty sure we should not do RREQs for subnets in the current draft. It
would open up a can of worms we don't have to open right now.
OK, i’ll see how/where I can make this more clear.
I dont think text about RREQ for subnets is required, just a statement that if
this was a RREQ, TargPrefixLen is equal to address length.
Kind regards,
Vicky.
