RE: Revised Drafts on Source Address Selection Posted

Hi:

Don't know if someone else has already commented on this, but in
draft-hirotaka-dhc-source-address-selection-opt-01.txt there is no reason to
align the options data or to have the "pad" bytes. The prefix lengths can
also be 1-byte (8-bit), not just multiples of 4 bytes. There is no point in
attempting to align the data or making it multiples of 4 bytes because other
options aren't -- so the alignment may be off anyway.
