Oh, I see. Sorry about that. No, there is no specific guidance. I think it
would be very difficult to provide general guidance because the correct
strategy is going to depend on what the application is. For example, if the
monitor is doing the main expected use case of gathering a routing table, once
messages are lost it really has to give up and retry from the beginning.
However it's easy to imagine other applications, such as watching for the
advertisement or withdrawal of a beacon route which is being done periodically.
Such an application might simply say "oh well" and wait for the next beacon.
So, I think putting in general guidance would be misleading rather than helpful.
Thanks for bringing this up,
