Hi all, How should a server respond to retransmitted packets received after a REPLY packet is sent, e.g.: DHC6CLIENT DHC6SERVER INFOSERVER | | (e.g. LDAP) | | | |1)INFO-REQ | | |>>> | | | >>> | | | >>> | | | >>> | | | >>>|2)processing/retrieve info |3)INFO-REQ |>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>| |>>> |<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<| | >>> <<<| | | >>><<< | | | <<<>>> | | | <<< >>>| | |<<< 4)REPLY |5)??? | What should (5) be? Should the server: a) drop (3) and subsequent duplicates (base on transaction id). b) reprocess the request and retransmit the reply, i.e. do (2)&(4) again. c) retransmit the reply, i.e. do (4) again. d) do any of the above (implementation specific). No indication for the above could be found in the draft. I suspect it should be a) or d), but it'd be nice to know for sure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Raymond J.
