> [chair hat off] I have read this latest version and it looks good to me. I have one question / suggestion: What if the radio (or waveform active on it) is of the Frequency Hopping type? In that case, the modem (=radio) cannot meaningfully report a carrier frequency, but still can report bandwidth usage. Right now, I cannot think of an example of the reverse situation, in which the carrier frequency can be meaningfully reported, but the bandwidth cannot. However, I would suggest to use two of currently reserved Flag bits to indicate ‘Frequency Valid’ and ‘Bandwidth Valid’. What do you think?

I thought about the frequency hopping problem myself and my first
thought was "just report the hopping sequence"... but this is not
useful because many radios today use pseudo-randomized hopping
patterns. Whats about having an optional "hopping" Flag, which
activates a second Bandwidth field that reports the range around the
center frequency in which the radio is hopping? This would make the
router able to "comprehend" what frequencies are used, e.g. for
applying a frequency dependent policy or for estimating potential
collisions between different radio technologies. In this case the
"center frequency" would just be the average frequency of all possible
hopping steps.
