Subject: unavailable virtual gateways
If, upon revisiting the implementation, you feel that the cost to derivce the unavailable virtual gateways isn't a big deal, then let's remove the unavailable virtual gateway list from the Dynamic message. Let me know what you think so that I can adjust the protocol specification document properly. At first glance one would think that the unavail VG info would be helpful, that is what I thought when I first looked at Lee's code, and it suprised me that they were not used. But when I thought about it more, it is very tedious to first go through and remove ths link state info for the VGs not reachable, and then double check the info for the VGs that are there, since the unreachable list may have gained some VGs, but lost others that have now become reachable. It is much simpler and probably a lot faster to just remove all the old information associated with with a particular dynamic update and then incorporate the new connectivity. My vote is to migrate toward taking it out, but perhaps we need another independent implementation before going that far. wood y
