Re: Limit response message length
Hi Michael,
What I am trying to do is to add a new parameter in
MIH_Get_Information.request/indication primitives, which is used for
specifying the maximum size of InfoQueryParameter to be returned in
the corresponding confirm/response primitives, and a new TLV to carry
the parameter in MIH_Get_Information Request message. This allows the
querier to specify a different MTU for each query so that a smaller
size can be specified for queries performed in State 1 of 802.11.
We could also define error handling for errors relating to message
size, if needed.
Regards,
Yoshihiro Ohba
