Hello Meral,
Thank you for this comment.
Indeed, sticking too hard to the specifications, I think I forgot to introduce
the purpose first.
I therefore propose to add one sentence in the abstract:
This document specifies a distributed algorithm for automatic prefix
assignment. Thus providing an alternative to manual or centralized
prefix and address assignment techniques. […]
And add a new paragraph at the very beginning of the introduction:
This document specifies a distributed algorithm for automatic prefix
assignment. The algorithm provides a generic alternative to
centralized (human or software based) approaches for network prefixes
and addresses assignment. Although it does not require to be
configured to operate properly, it supports custom configuration by
means of variable priority assignments, and can therefore be used in
fully autonomic as well as professionally managed networks.
Given a set of delegated prefixes, Nodes may assign available
prefixes to links they are directly connected to, […]
Do you think it helps ?
Do you think I should publish an update immediately or wait for other comments
first ?
Thanks
- Pierre
