Peter,
My point was that this should be at least mentioned in operational
considerations section if dynamic flooding is expected to work in
mixed networks where some nodes support new algorithm and some do not
your "regular flooding case".
you are talking about mixing the manual mesh group with optimized
flooding. I don't think we want to go that path.
thanks,
Peter

Note that static mesh groups can be present today too and you
can't assume that it is either an optimized algorithm or full
flooding.
please do not compare apples with oranges.
Static mesh groups are manually configured and if not done
correctly can result in broken flooding. What we are discussing
here is a dynamic flooding algorithm, not manual flooding blocking.
thanks,
Peter
Thx,

This is a new requirement for the flooding algorithm itself.
This does
not exist with the existing leader based election, as that
guarantees
that only one optimized flooding algorithm is ever present in
the area.
Note that combining routers that run the elected optimized
algorithm
with routers that do run the regular flooding is not a problem.
