Hi All,

I not really understand what does the 'uint8_t flags' field means in the
/tos/lib/net/4bitle/LinkEstimator.h file?

In the file, the 'flags' is quoted as: "flags to describe the state of this
entry".

Based on my understanding, the 'flags' indicates the 'number of elements in
the link estimator footer' which is the linkest_footer_t.

If I have a CTP routing data sample such as like this (the sample data taken
from the MViz program):

FF FF 00 00 0D 22 70 02 0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 43 00 01 43

therefore, the field '02' (which I highlighted),refers to the 'flags' field
of the linkest_header_t. Thus, the last 6 bytes of the stream (00 02 43 00
01 43) would reflect this 'flags'.
If I converted the hexa '02', that would be 2 decimal, which I conclude
there will be two number of elements in the link estimator footer, but what
I see here there are 6 bytes of them altogether??

I am sure I missed a correct understanding here about the flags
field...Please someone correct me...

thanks in advance...

Yusnaidi
