Subject: [dtn-interest] question about broadcasting

Dear all,

Sorry for my asking a (probably very basic) question.

We are considering to use DTN mechanism for information dissemination, such as vehicle traffic information dissemination scenario.  In this case, the destination EID must be something like group or broadcast entity.  In my understanding, an EID is formed from a node identifier and a service identifier basically.  But how do we organize broadcast or multicast EIDs?

Is there any such well known node identifier to indicate multi/broadcasting?  Or is the interpretation of node identifiers up to applications?

Regards,
