Hello folks,
The question was raised about the number of bits needed for a metric
(and, MAX_METRIC).
This depends on the metric type. That's the way it's done elsewhere
(e.g., in IEEE layer-2 routing), because it would be quite wasteful if
required to be the same for all metrics.
Also, I am p-lanning to resubmit draft-perkins-manet-tdpb-00.
It is very short. I would really appreciate any comments you may have.
This is one of the metrics in use for the 802.15.10 layer-2 routing
specification, and has had a lot of discussion. It's a cost metric that
allows choice of path with the highest bandwidth -- useful because
bandwidth is not itself a cost metric.
Regards,
Charlie P.
