Would you mind explaining why you think it helps for mobile nodes in the
scenario you mention ? If I understand it correctly it helps for data originating from a
non-mobile
node traveling towards the mobile node but this is less critical (assuming the mobile node has a higher orig interval).
Correct, I was assuming equal intervals ;). Yes, this is usually not critical, but just found it note worthy anyway, that you could possibly move towards the sender along the path as fast as you wish without losing the stream from the sender, being independent of the receivers OGM interval.
For data originating at the mobile node traveling towards the non-mobile node it will only help if
bothnodes are
single hop neighbors.
That's not what I've been claiming afaik :). And if both nodes are just one hop away, then you don't have any advantage of this promisc-reception anyway.
Hope that paragraph did not cause too much confusion, if you think there's something misleading in it, I can change it, no problem.
