Hello Vicky,
O.K., I will look to see how RFC 5444 provides a method to send across a
certain network interface.
Or if you happen to remember I would appreciate a small pointer...
No apologies needed, and thanks for helping me to understand your point
of view!
Regards,
Charlie P.

Ok, so this relates back into what 5444 will tell us.
However, in other places in the draft we use the interface, both storing it in a route, and sending messages on certain interfaces. Has anyone flagged up that this isn't possible? Sending on certain interfaces definitely is since rfc5444 says so but I didn't see anything in 5444 or the usage draft which says about receiving interface.
If I missed that in previous discussions then please accept my apologies and carry on.
Kind regards,
Vicky.

Hello Vicky,
Follow-up below...

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.

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.

Charlie P.
