[manet] AODV Question
if the
"AODV routing protocol is designed for mobile ad hoc networks
with populations of tens to thousands of mobile nodes"
why is the HopCount limited to only a BYTE? This effectively limits the number of hops to 255. Why not expand the hop count to two bytes into the reseved region of the RREQ packet. Something similar could be done with the RREP packet as well.
