DYMO RREQ storm

Open aarizaq opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

The protocol doesn't check if a RREQ has been processed already and it doesn't actualize the metric of the RREQ packets

Possible patch https://github.com/aarizaq/inetmanet-2.0/commit/7b91d5e45d7ee052a174d8ac461ece7537451ead

Now that I looked into this issue a little bit deeper, I think we have two options:

  • we either leave the DYMO module as it is and don't change anything in INET or,
  • we add a new AODVv2 module in INET that implements the new draft,

the reason is being that there are too many differences between the two standards. We simply can't say in the header file that it implements the AODVv2-16 when it's clearly not the case. I tried to look for differences in the two standards but they are organized differently enough so that it's really hard to tell what has been changed.

Hmm, I just don't know what else could we do.
