It really takes some visualization to get through, I sat up with a good book on graph theory to work it all out. "Introduction to Graph Theory" by Trudeau is really good to have around. Some of the naming in the RFC is counterintuitive. E.g. an MPR set is the set of relays chosen by the local node, an MPR selector set is the set of neighbours which choose the local node as a relay. All of this is happening in near-real-time, or at least as close to real time as you can get with the link state update quantization. So the regression tests can sometimes fail on slow machines due to timer aliasing. > > The code looks quite tricky..and reading the pertinent subsection of > the RFC > is not helping too much. No worries. I had to read it about 3 times incrementally before it sank in, and even then I had what you might call a minor nervous breakdown. cheers, BMS _______________________________________________ Xorp-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.ICSI.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/xorp-hackers
