Yes, it's not a mistake. The Idea is that you will sort your TLVs by lexicographic (dst, src) in a Babel packet. Usually, the source prefix will not begin the same than the destination prefix cached: - external destinations are for addresses in our prefix, so in a different prefix, - destinations in our local network are probably /128 which are not source specific. In both case, we will change the source prefix. Now, consider we re-add both a "flag" field, and a "src-prefix" field, to memorize the source prefix, and consider we have 2 (or more) source prefix. Since we have sorted the message by lexicographic (dst, src), we will have, for example: (d1, s1) (d1, s2) (d2, s1) (d2, s2) and anyway, you will be obliged to rewrite the prefix. Now, if you believe it's important to rethink things and have a more memory efficient protocol, perhaps having a "dictionary" TLV with, as you explain me (or more precisely what I understood), with all current TLVs redefined as sub-TLVs... (probably isn't it the time for that.)
