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
