- Hi,
-
- Im using isis 2.2.7 and have the following problem:
-
- Given the following groups...
-
- G={a,b,c} Group G contains addresses a b and c
- F={d}
-
- What is the most elegant way using ISIS to send a message from "d" in
- group F to a specific member of G, given that "d" has the address of
- this member? Also, this message must arrive at a specified entry point
- (this is why bcast_l("l" is unsuitable) since in Isis v.2.1 this
- delivered to entry point 0).
-
- The only way I can easily see of doing this is to make "d" a client of
- G, and create a subgroup of G containing the single members address that
- "d" wants to send to. "d" then leaves G as a client and the newly
- created subgroup (of one address) is then destroyed. This seems rather
- heavyweight for a single cast.
-
- On a related note, is their a convienience function I have missed that
- will copy an address? For example, I may want to record the result of
- msg_getsender(msg_p) for much longer than the duration of the message or
- function.
-
- Any help would be gratefully received (understatement!).
-
- Thanks
-
- Jonathan
