Reviewer Comment AB4: Related to OLSRv2 Messages.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Section 13.2.> Messages with different originating routers MAY be
combined for transmission within the same packet. Messages from other
protocols defined using [RFC5444], including but not limited to
[RFC6130], MAY be combined for transmission within the same packet.
This specification does not define or use any contents of the Packet
Header.

Comment> the document describes the receive and processing of OLSRv2
messages, but not sure why not about processing of OLSRv2 packets.

Question> in case of messages from other protocols, how the OLSRv2
router receives and processes the packet and/or different routing
messages?

Question> is there possibility that OLSRv2 receives control messages
[RFC5444] which are not packed in RFC5444 packet, or is that not
allowed by the specification?

Regards
AB
