Talk:Lollipop sequence numbering

Which protocols currently use lollipop sequence numbering? Does BGP use it? -- The Anome 10:01, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Why?
This article needs an explanation of why the odd name. Is it integers drawn on a number line? &mdash; RevRagnarok  Talk Contrib 19:32, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

If you draw the sequence out, it's a line with a circle atop it, hence the name. What this article *does* need is a fuller explanation of "Lollipop sequence numbering was originally believed to resolve the ambiguity problem in cyclic sequence numbering schemes, and was used in OSPF version 1 for this reason. Later work showed that this was not the case" - at the very least, a link to the referenced "later work"


 * Yeah, this needs to be expanded. I'm not finding any info on what the problem is.
