A --- M --- B

[...]

M doesn't publish a NODE-STATE TLV, but other than that it fully participates in the protocol.

However, if you want to _bridge_ stuff, you can just forward 'things from A to B, and things from B to A' on the M node, and it should work.

I'm probably missing something, then.

For a given node N, let N's Silly Walk Set, written SWS(N), be the set of nodes that N includes in the computation of its network hash.

If M is just forwarding beween A and B, and is not publishing a node state, then SWS(A) = {A} and SWS(B) = {B}. Therefore, the network states published by A and B will be different, and everytime N forwards A's network state to B, B will reset its trickle timer, and similarly in the other direction.

What am I missing?
