Hi,
In draft-ietf-p2psip-base-02, section 5.3.2, the Forwarding Header's
length field was increased from 24-bit to 32-bit from version-01. This
change is unwarranted and should be reverted.
1) The maximum message size remain 24-bit (5.2.3. Message Contents
Format, payload). There is no need to have a 32-bit length in the
forwarding header.
2) This change throw off the alignment of all fields after 'length' in
the header. They are now all start with an odd address offset, and the
fixed portion of the header (up to options_length) is now an odd number.
This design incurs performance penalty on many hardware, and it requires
clumsy software implementation. It is just ugly. Some common sense is in
order.
Thanks
--Michael
