Title : Delay-Tolerant Networking Previous Hop Insertion Block
Author(s) : S. Symington
Filename : draft-irtf-dtnrg-bundle-previous-hop-block-03.txt
Pages : 14
Date : 2008-2-8
This document defines an extension block that may be used with the
Bundle Protocol [2] within the context of a Delay-Tolerant Network
architecture [4]. This Previous Hop Insertion Block is designed to
be inserted by a forwarding node to provide information to its next-
hop receiving node. This block is always removed from the bundle by
the receiving node so that it's duration within the bundle lasts for
exactly one hop. It provides a general insertion capability to
enable any node that forwards a bundle to insert an arbitrary record
(or records) of information into the bundle. While this block is
defined to provide an arbitrary insertion capability, this
specification also defines two specific, mandatory, information
record formats for the information that may be carried in the
Previous Hop Insertion block. Using these mandatory information
record formats, an insertion block may be used to indicate the
inserting/forwarding node's endpoint ID (EID), which may be required
in some circumstances to support certain routing protocols (e.g.,
flood routing). This document defines the format and processing of
this Previous Hop Insertion Block.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
