Sorry missed off the solution here - 'hop' should be incremented and used
to
avoid this - in a two network setup you could drop anything that has a
hopcount of 2 or more. In a half duplex network (or any network where
receivers cant hear all other transmitters then you may want to rebroadcast
the original packet (with or without the hop increment) dependent on
whether
your packet propogation mechanics will cope with this without looping.
