From 260082471ed3f6d751e9767e5a278d4e495d83f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allan Stephens Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 23:39:31 -0700 Subject: [TIPC]: Links now validate destination node specified by incoming messages. This fix prevents link flopping and name table inconsistency problems arising when a node is assigned a different value than it used previously. (Changing the value causes other nodes to have two link endpoints sending to the same MAC address using two different destination values, requiring the receiving node to filter out the unwanted messages.)
