Subject: [manet] the effect of destination sequence number

Hello all,

Following my previous question, can anybody who has
a clear thoughs about destination sequence
number(DSN) tell me, what is the effect of
DSN during the RREQ transmission?

2 facts are:

1. the forwarding node will not modify its route
table entry for the destination node during RREQ
transmission.

2. the node generating RREP simply copies its known
or its own destination sequence number into RREP
field, which is obviously the freshest one.

This means the RREQ will be accepted anyway if it is
not a duplicate one.  I am wondering can we ignore
the DSN during RREQ transmission?

Looking forward to any clarifications!

Cheers,

Cindy
