Re: [PATCH] babel: Ignore Hello TLVs with unicast flag set

Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk> writes:

RFC6126bis introduces a flags field for the Hello TLV, and adds a unicast flag that is used to signify that a hello was sent as unicast. This adds parsing of the flags field and ignores such unicast hellos, which preserves compatibility until we can add a proper implementation of the unicast hello mechanism.

I have a partial implementation of the unicast hello mechanism lying around, but it is written before we agreed on the details, so it needs to be updated. I'll get around to that and send it along later, but for now this patch at least guarantees that we are compatible with any other implementation that does send unicast hellos. -Toke
