[net2-wg] TEP 118

[henri dubois-ferriere]

Looks good to me. A few small comments.

1) If there must be one, I would suggest that the tie-breaking
mechanism be specified by the TEP.
If I write an app where ties may happen, I would like to know what is
the algo to resolve them. [ i know, this raises the question "are we
defining interfaces or protocols"...;) ]
Now, on thinking it over, i don't see an algorithm for tie resolution
which is guaranteed to converge. I could be tired, or stupid, but can
anyone formulate such a thing?

2) could the TEP describe how one would go about disseminating with
multiple sinks/basestations? This could be a good
illustration/validation of the interfaces.

3) are these interfaces also intended for "all-to-all" dissemination,
where any node in the network might have stuff to disseminate? it
would be nice to make this explicit.
