Re: [lisp] Capabilities Type LCAF - a proposal

Hi Dino,

> I would propose that the Capabilities Type LCAF be encoded as a bit-string. Where each bit position indicates the LCAF Type value. We would have 2 fields, an EID field and a RLOC field so it can be conveyed which Types are supported for EID encoded fields or RLOC encoded fields in any LISP control message.

Will a bit string be able to provide enough detail? LCAF types can be combined in many ways...

I would like to see it in -03

Also for -03 I would say. This will very probably not be the final draft, so why publish -03 now when we know that this will be added to -04 :-)

Thanks,
Sander.
