Source IP address field in RREP on DSR routing
Hello
I have a question about routing in MANET using Dynamic Source Routing protocol.
IN RFC4728 (DSR) in section "IP fields" of RREP (Route Reply) packet we have this:
Quote:
Source Address
Set to the address of the node sending the Route Reply. In the
case of a node sending a reply from its Route Cache (Section
3.3.2) or sending a gratuitous Route Reply (Section 3.4.3),
this address can differ from the address that was the target of
the Route Discovery.
ok.
I read in several books and also in rfc4728 that: when a source node (node that initiate route discovery process) receive a RREP it are not able to understad which node sent that RREP!!
But why?

rfc say that the value of source IP address field of RREP packet is IP address of node that send RREP. and this packet forwarded toward Source node.
My question is why??! why source node can not always understand that which node is sender of RREP?

Please guide me
tnx

tc-route

Route classifier in tc(8)                                              Linux                                             Route classifier in tc(8)

NAME

       route - route traffic control filter

SYNOPSIS

       tc filter ... route [ from REALM | fromif TAG ] [ to REALM ] [ classid CLASSID ] [ action ACTION_SPEC ]

DESCRIPTION

       Match  packets  based  on routing table entries. This filter centers around the possibility to assign a realm to routing table entries. For
       any packet to be classified by this filter, a routing table lookup is performed and the returned realm is used to  decide  on  whether  the
       packet is a match or not.

OPTIONS

       action ACTION_SPEC
              Apply an action from the generic actions framework on matching packets.

       classid CLASSID
              Push matching packets into the class identified by CLASSID.

       from REALM
       fromif TAG
              Perform source route lookups.  TAG is the name of an interface which must be present on the system at the time of tc invocation.

       to REALM
              Match if normal (i.e., destination) routing returns the given REALM.

EXAMPLES

       Consider the subnet 192.168.2.0/24 being attached to eth0:

              ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0 realm 2

       The following route filter will then match packets from that subnet:

              tc filter add ... route from 2 classid 1:2

       and pass packets on to class 1:2.

NOTES

       Due  to  implementation  details,  realm  values  must  be  in  a  range from 0 to 255, inclusive. Alternatively, a verbose name defined in
       /etc/iproute2/rt_realms may be given instead.
