In DYMO we have an ignored-bit. When a message is forwarded but the  
message type is unknown, then the ignored-bit is set.

Are there cases when a node would forward a msg-type or tlv-type that  
it did not understand AND it is important for nodes that later  
process that message/tlv to know the that msg-type or tlv-type was  
not processed?

Do you think we should build similar functionality into the common  
packet format?

Ian
