Hello folks,

I don't think we should have a 32-bit hop count!!

Why??

Regards,
Charlie P.

Yes it is very likely that AODVv2 will be used on wireless networks, but given that a very high proportion of mesh and point to point wireless networks operate some proprietary or closed standard protocol (apart from the usual 802.11 and .15 ones), I’d really rather not get into a protracted discussion of what could and could not be done here.

IMO best left as an exercise for the reader, or text to that effect. If I was building such a network today, I would probably pre-load key material into each node with a lifetime of the mission plus a bit, maybe with a spare set of keys in case of compromise. In the future when technology has moved on to be able to properly negotiate trust without reference to a central PKI server, I would do something fancier.

Are you saying that when these metrics are defined, their values should be limited to 2 bytes? Also (what i think Justin meant) is it also useful to define a maximum link metric?

So in messages when we report the accumulated metric, the field in the TLV should have length of 32 bits? There's no point in having the table in 11.6 define the number of bytes used to represent the value of each metric type.


Yes. Again, let's just pick that - we'll "get corrected", and we can move on.

So the gist of this discussion is that
11.6.  MetricType Allocation

should be changed from


+---------------------+----------+--------------------+
          | Name of MetricType  | Type     | Metric Value Size  |
+---------------------+----------+--------------------+
          | Unassigned          | 0        | Undefined          |
          | Hop Count           | 3 [TBD]  | 1 octet          |
          | Unallocated         | 9 - 254  | TBD          |
          | Reserved            | 255      | Undefined          |
+---------------------+----------+--------------------+

to

+---------------------+----------+--------------------+
          | Name of MetricType  | Type     | Metric Value Size  |
+---------------------+----------+--------------------+
          | Unassigned          | 0        | Undefined          |
          | Hop Count           | 3 [TBD]  | 4 octets           |

I think I’m a bit lost, sorry :(
