But of course :-D

Now that all being said.. it does not yet support the
multiple ACONF's feature that was added to the draft
in about version -20..

The multi-asconf features allows one, on a retransmission, to
add addtional ASCONF's that are queued while one is outstanding.

The purpose of this is for mobility...

There is work going on in this area.. its just we probably will
not have it finished until 8.0... but the basic support
for dynamic addresses is in the 7.0 code :-D
