Subject: [manet] Doubts about Global Connectivity: IGWADV-N

Hello:

I have several doubts related to the "Global 
connectivity mechanism" for integrating mobile ad 
hoc networks into the Internet.

- The validity of entries in the Internet Gateway 
list and in the Internet Gateway Prefix List is 
derived from the IGWADV-N. Which field is used 
for this purpose? The “Reachable Time”?  (I think 
that the “Router Lifetime” could not be used as 
it is set to 0 when NDP extensions are employed).

- Should not the "Router Lifetime" include 
information about the validity of the routing 
information in both cases:IGWADV-N or IGWADV-M ?

- In the IGWADV-N format, the M (Managed Address 
Autoconfiguration) bit is suppressed although it 
is present in the RA messages (NDP specifications). Why is this bit suppressed?

Any help?

Thanks in advance,
