Subject: [tcpm] TCP-F

Dear all,
 
In TCP-F (TCP feedback based scheme), it has been proposed that when a
specific link becomes invalid, the failure point (FP) will sends Route
Failure Notification (RFN) message to sender and then the sender goes to
snooze mode and waits for Route Re-establishment Notification (RRN)
message. My question here is that, when multiple link failures happen,
does the sender accept the RRN message only from the FP node that has
sent RFN message or it will accept that from any intermediate node than
have learned new route to destination?
 
I would appreciate if someone can help me with that.
 
Regards,
 
Ehsan
