Hello, I just finished going through RFC4944 and I have three questions left, I cannot understand. Maybe you can help me with that and provide me with a better understanding.
1. Section 8 The type field is 8 bit. Why is it so big? The length field is units of 8: I understand it as multiples of 8-bit. Why means value 1 16-bit and value 2 64-bit addresses? It should be 8-bit and 16-bit with the values 1 and 1?! 2. Section 9 What is the reason, that mulitcast address mapping only has to be supported in mesh-enabled networks? What is the concept behind that. Thank you for your answers. Kind Regards Guido Moritz ------------------------- Dipl. Ing. Guido Moritz Universitaet Rostock, Fakultaet f.
