To all, I have to agree with Thiago. If this is not standards based work then this is an iotivity activity. If it is an iotivity activity, the discussion needs to happen on the mailing list and captured decisions including design need to be posted to the wiki. Thiago, What we lack though is a way for the community to say ?yes let?s do it? or indicate ?we approve?. Pat

Can you describe why the code requires the information in order to do routing? The operating system already has the routing tables and knows the routes and IP addresses better than we do. Therefore, the operating system already does routing better than we can in IoTivity. So why do we need to do routing at all? This feature has never been described and its needs are not understood. As far as I can tell, it's not part of the spec, in any version I've seen.

The API might be flawed.

IoTivity has no bi-weekly calls or any call at any frequency. If you're meeting outside of IoTivity, please post any conclusions to the mailing list. You're right that IoTivity features can use the internal API. But the IoTivity feature itself needs to be unit-tested so we can catch the breakage when the changes are done. I'd like us to investigate why the failure was allowed to happen in the first place. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ iotivity-dev mailing list iotivity-dev at lists.iotivity.org<mailto:iotivity-dev at lists.iotivity.org> https://lists.iotivity.org/mailman/listinfo/iotivity-dev [cid:image001.gif at 01D0C538.13489A30] [http://ext.samsung.net/mailcheck/SeenTimeChecker?do=0fa18573320d6211ce680a47a6c1c34e58ef0e8a7653647a032aa89e99be1a3e13d69ea60670f66e1fac5bf6c61543587bc8a6096cfbfc9f02e038c8d853bffbdb9fdddda33e82cbe4a391424e62fcf6cf878f9a26ce15a0] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
