#102: Why have a Data Option in P2P-RPL. Why have a sequence number in the data
option?

Changes (by jpv@…):

 * status:  new => closed
 * resolution:   => fixed


Comment:

 Resolution:
 1) Data Option is a sensible and necessary design choice for home
 automation networks. Home automation frequently requires low-latency
 messages to be delivered to targets for which the originator has no route.
 The fastest way to do that in a reactive routing scheme is to piggyback
 the data on the routing packets. The other option would be to use simple
 flooding, with no trickle control, which would involve generating a huge
 number of packets. Piggybacking data on routing packets helps avoid
 generating extra packets.

 2) There is no need for the origin to change the data option during a
 route discovery. So there is no need for a sequence number. Further, P2P-
 RPL would explictly forbid an origin to change the data option during a
 route discovery.
