I'm sorry, I'm lost on this discussion. I thought we'd addressed it by noting what interface a message was received on, and making sure to send a response on the same interface.

As stated, this fixes the problem.

However, I don't have any understanding about how an AODVv2 implementation will be able to note what interface a message was received on.

Please let me know if I missed something about how that happens. Or, if nobody cares!

Whenever such a requirement existed in the past, to my knowledge it was always satisfied by either specialized IPv6 addresses or MAC addresses. For MIA, the former is not available.

Charlie P.



If this doesn't fix the problem, definitely get the discussion on MANET and if its not too much trouble, state exactly what problem it solves, I apologise but I feel like I don't have time to scroll back through the archives. I think we have until Wednesday?

Kind regards,
Vicky.

    Hello folks,

    I could submit a design for using RFC 7182 for the end-to-end
    authentication unless you folks already have a plan for that.

    I would also be willing to carry on the discussion about
    multi-interface IP address (MIA) handling unless something has
    been decided about that.  I didn't see any follow-up to my
    previous discussion here or on the mailing list, so I don't know
    the status.

    Please let me know...

    Regarding the MIA support, I think we ought to have a
    configuration variable called MIA_SUPPORT.  If TRUE, then the
    platform would have to meet certain requirements.  These can be
    formulated as requirements for "interface ID" support, or support
    for MAC addresses.  In the former case, I expect the requirement
    for support would be more invasive.  Supporting MAC addresses is
    much more natural for the operating system platform.

    Regards,
    Charlie P.
