The Why does one have to indicate that they have NO_ADDITIONAL_ADDRESSES ? If i don't send ADDITIONAL_IP* notification then you just have one address to operate with. What is the use of explicitly indicating this ? Also, ADDITIONAL_IP with zero address can do the same i guess i.e ADDITIONAL_IP* replaces the previous list with zero or more addresses. -thanks mohan > ADDITIONAL_IP4/6_ADDRESS are used to > give complete list of additional addresses (in > addition to the one > in the IP-header).
