[OLSR-users] Message Header : Hop Count

[lolo]

Hi all

At the begining of section 3 of RFC3626, when describing the OLSR header 
message,
it is said :
>    Furthermore, a node can examine the header of a message to obtain
>    information on the distance (in terms of number of hops) to the
>    originator of the message.  This feature may be useful in situations
>    where, e.g., the time information from a received control messages
>    stored in a node depends on the distance to the originator.
I couldn't find in the rest of the RFC an example of a use of that Hop 
Count.
As the length of a route is calculated by other means, I can't figure an
example for mixing time of message (Vtime) and hop count as it is 
suggested here.

Did i miss a whole chapter in the RFC ? Any idea of using it ?

TIA
