In MANET there are certain deployments that might want to operate
several separate MANETs using the same wireless channel. Should
PacketBB include a Packet/Message TLV identifying the MANET ID? These
TLVs would indicate to receiving nodes that the particular
packet/message is associated with a particular configured MANET ID.

This field would be used like OSPF area or instance ID to separate
routing regions though they might use the same links/medium.

Do you think we should include this in the PacketBB spec or should it
live elsewhere? Perhaps we should pull out "common" packet BB types
(PREFIX_LENGTH, etc) into a separate document.
