Just re-read RFC 2501, and I don't see mention of "multi-hop subnets". Can you point out where this is described? > One additional point I'd note, is that MANETs attached to the > Internet are almost exclusively viewed as stub networks (for > reasons of bandwidth and reliability at the least). Is it an assumption that a MANET will only function as a stub network, or is it an enforceable restriction? For example, is there a mechanism that can be used to prevent a MANET from becoming attached at multiple points, becoming a transit network? _______________________________________________ Int-area mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/int-area
