Hello,

Chapter 6.6 reads, after the rules when generating RREPs:
"When generating a RREP message, a node copies the Destination IP Address and 
the Originator Sequence Number from the RREQ message into the corresponding 
fields in the RREP message."
Now that's strange: why the Originator Sequence Number, it's not really useful 
for the originator is it? There's no corresponding field for that one in the 
RREP either. Is this a mistake and should it be Destination Sequence Number?

Greetings,
Bart
