Hello Pascal,

Agree with you.
We can use AOO with last Modification DAO sequence to elide all options in DAO. In this case, we can ignore the Abbreviated Option field or set it to 0xFF. Which do you prefer?

For the DAO lost case, even in normal DAO case, node has the risk of lost DAO message. Node should set 'K' flag according to different network environment. 
It should also work in DAO-AOO case. Admin can balance the risk of lost DAO message and 4-bytes DAO-ACK load.


Best regards,
Li

    Hello Again Li:
    
    I looked at it and an simple step could be that when a node receives a DAO-ACK for a given DAO sequence, then if the next DAO has the same content the node may reuse the DAO sequence and elide the options. It may also decide not refrain from asking an ack, at the risk that the DAO is lost and the state times out at the DAO receiver.
    
    All the best;
    
    Pascal

    Hello Li
    
    Would be great!
    
    The xml is available on github under roll-wg.
    My expectation is that the source of the non storing DAO increases a sequence nb when there is a change and abbreviates it when there is none. 
    
    You need to think of what happens when the updated DAO is lost, eg MUST an ack or something and only abbreviate after a positive DAO ACK...

    Pascal

    > 
    >     <Pascal> AOO is RECOMMENDED to elide the option. A DIO an option elided (no option, no abbreviation) and an unchanged RCSS is perfectly OK. But if an option is elided AND the RCSS is incremented then after a reasonable time-out the children will pull the options to check if they changed and the parent will need to send either the AOO or the option in full or both in which case the RCSS of the AOO wins. It is always possible to place the option in full without a AOO but if it is done with an increased RCSS in the DIO that will mechanically increase the "RCSS of the option" as seen by the children and will cause the whole subdag to pull the option to no avail.
