Subject: [manet] Requirements for AODV MY_ROUTE_TIMEOUT parameter unclear

Hi,

In the AODV draft, section 9, the following seems contradicting:

first it is stated that a configured value for MY_ROUTE_TIMEOUT MUST be
at least 2 * PATH_DISCOVERY_TIME

then in the table with default values MY_ROUTE_TIMEOUT = 2 *
ACTIVE_ROUTE_TIMEOUT = 2 * 3000 ms = 6 s

this is smaller than 2 * PATH_DISCOVERY_TIME:

2 * PATH_DISCOVERY_TIME =
2 * (2 * NET_TRAVERSAL_TIME) =
2 * (2 * (2 * NODE_TRAVERSAL_TIME * NET_DIAMETER)) = 
2 * (2 * (2 * (40 ms * 35))) = 11.2 s

Am I missing something here?

Regards,

Gerben Kuijpers
