Hi,
I have almost finished implementing support of locator updates, and have
now a small question relative to section 10.5 (receiving update acks).
I find strange the following lines :
---
o If I2-SENT, then send R2 and proceed to process the message.
o If I2BIS-SENT, then send R2 and proceed to process the message.
---
Why do we need to send an R2 if we are in I2-SENT state ?
Moreover, if we send an R2, the peer will infer that we are in
ESTABLISHED state, and thus will never send its locators !
In section 10.4 (receiving update requests), something similar is
written, but an I2 must be sent.
I am not sure of how useful it is, but I implemented that, since it is
in the draft and it is not harmful anyway.
But sending an R2 seems strange.
Am I missing something ?
Thanks,
Sébastien.
