Representing metric values in MANETs
This document defines TLVs (type-length-value) structures for representing cost values using the generalized MANET packet/message format. A message block TLV structure is defined for representing a cost value associated with the local node. An address block TLV structure is defined for representing a cost value associated with links or a cost value associated with other nodes. Both TLV structures are defined for use within MANET protocols. Registry space is created for TLVs which follow this format.
