Re: Revised Drafts on Source Address Selection Posted


Bernie,

 | 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.

As you point out, 4-bytes alignment is not necessary with this option
format.

I'll delete the 'pad' bytes in the next revision.

Thank you for your comment.
