Hi Vishal: The most significant change between TIPC 1.5.8 and TIPC 1.6.1 (in Linux kernel 2.6.18) relates to TIPC's broadcast/multicast link; if you are only doing "normal" unicast messaging then two nodes running these two versions should be able to discover each other and communicate normally. (Note: The broadcast/multicast code was significantly reworked in TIPC 1.5.9, and I normally recommend that anyone wishing to use it upgrade to at least TIPC 1.5.10.)
I should also point out that, starting in TIPC 1.5.9, TIPC name types from 8 to 63 were added to the "reserved" list -- meaning applications can no longer these bind names to sockets. If your TIPC 1.5.8-based applications were using these values you may have to adapt your code (or modify TIPC in your 2.6.18 kernel to remove this restriction).

Hi, Is there any internal message (control/data) format change betweent tipc-1.5.08 and the one available with Kernel 2.6.18? Can I run one node on latest TIPC and another on old TIPC and communicate/discover without any problem?
