RE: [manet] Representing addresses with PacketBB
> What are the other types of addresses that PacketBB considers?
You can use it for whatever you want. Within the IETF probably
only IPv4 and IPv6. But other applications are possible.
> These addresses have a precisely defined semantics,
But packetbb doesn't. The split is purely for compression.
How we do it is informed by what sort of patterns we
expect, and therefore what sort of compression may be
useful. But as far as packetbb is concerned, addresses
are sets of octets, that we compress, send, and uncompress
at the other end. The meaning and any internal structure
of those addresses is someone else's problem. If our
compression happens to match the internal structure, or
not, don't care.
