(8+ipsize) is the minimal length of an OLSR message. I will be moving this to 
the generic parser.

lower_border/upper_border is an idea I have developed for more efficient 
handling of fragmented TCs. OLSRd create only TCs with sorted IPs. If a TC is 
fragmented it's typically not possible to erase tc-edges in the database but 
not in the TC because they could be in another fragment.

The borders (together with the first and last IP) allow OLSRd to calculate the 
"range" of IPs the TC fragment is responsible for, so all tc-edges inside this 
range can be instantly deleted from the database.
