RE: Question on LMP

["Liran Siglat" <liran@cwnt.com>]

Hi,

Reading the following thread: http://ops.ietf.org/lists/ccamp/ccamp.2001/msg00217.html
It seems that you have reached the decision that: "The source IP address identifies the originator of the LMP message".
Is this decision still standing ?
From this decision I deduce that the LMP application MUST set the source ip-address of the packets it sends,
so the receiver would identify it and map it correctly to the control-channel,
(as opposed to letting it be chosen according to the interface through which the packet is sent).
This doesn't seem like the right thing to do, since the source ip-address in the IP header has its own uses.
If LMP runs over IP it shouldn't identify the originator of a LMP message according to fields in the IP header,
instead it should use its own identifiers (CCID) even in messages such as LinkSummary messages which are not
sent in the scope of a particular control channel.

Some clarification on the issue, will be great.
Thanks, Liran.
