Re: [Manet-dt] Link local Multicast Address

In what context would this common address be used?

Do we expect MANETs to exist that run multiple routing protocols?
If so, the filtering now has to be done above the MAC filters (i.e. on
port or protocol numbers) which will affect power consumption.

What about security issues of sending packets that are not meant
for a subset of routers, but are received by them due to the shared
address?

In short, I would like to see a description of how this address will be
used before I make any judgment.

Brian
