Folks, we're hoping to declare the packet format frozen, so please double-check we didn't do anything stupid. Note that there's a good reason why we're using three new TLV types rather than a sub-TLV within the existing TLVs -- it's for compatibility with plain Babel routers. The way we do it, existing routers will silently ignore the whole new TLV, while with a sub-TLV, existing routers would discard the unknown sub-TLV and hence mis-interpret the rest of the TLV. Please see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chroboczek-babel-extension-mechanism-00#section-2.2 for more information on this particular subject. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list Babel-users@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
