From fc0eea691a06ba8516795fb7a198239fb9db1cfc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allan Stephens Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:26:41 -0400 Subject: tipc: Introduce node signature field in neighbor discovery message Adds support for the new "node signature" in neighbor discovery messages, which is a 16 bit identifier chosen randomly when TIPC is initialized. This field makes it possible for nodes receiving a neighbor discovery message to detect if multiple neighboring nodes are using the same network address (i.e. ), even when the messages are arriving on different interfaces. This first phase of node signature support creates the signature, incorporates it into outgoing neighbor discovery messages, and tracks the signature used by valid neighbors. An upcoming patch builds on this foundation to implement the improved duplicate neighbor detection checking.
