Re: [Dime] [dime] #48: Setting M-Bit gives wrong semantics

Hi Ben,

I don't think that there is something wrong here.

The setting of M-bit is per application, and it is true for any AVP.

I'm not sure to understand your example. The use of the DOIC is defined per application.
For a newly defined application:
- Either the node supports the new application and it will understand any AVP defined as AVP to understand;
- Either the node does not support new application and it will not receive messages for this application or it will be transparent to any unknown AVP (e.g. Relay).

Regards,

Lionel

#48: Setting M-Bit gives wrong semantics

 Multiple sections indicate that a new application that incorporates DOIC
 can set the M-Bit on DOIC sub-avps. I don't think this ever does the right
 thing.

 IIUC, If a node that otherwise supports DOIC encounters a DOIC avp that it
 doesn't understand, and has the M-Bit set, it will cause a failure of the
 application command. I don't think we want the lack of support of some
 DOIC feature or extension to ever cause an application-level failure.  I
 think we are looking for something that would just cause the OLR to be
 ignored.
