Re: [Autoconf] WG Review: Recharter of Ad-Hoc Network Autoconfiguration (autoconf)

["Teco Boot" <[e-mail]>]

I agree on not mentioning an endless list of routing protocols.
I was not precise in my reply, I agreed on not rely on OLSR or DYMO. I
forgot to mention the list should not be in the charter.
Being independent on routing protocols was in the previous charter, that was
OK for me.

|Yes, but I don't think it should be mentioned in the charter. The
|charter does not say anything that the addressing model should have any
|preconditions for a particular MANET routing protocol. Otherwise, it

|OSPF, AODV,....)

|I agree with Teco. MANETs can run on a number of different L2
|technologies with certain characteristics. These characteristics should
|be mentioned in the document to be written, but not in the charter. In
|my opinion, no specific L2 should be mentioned.

|> |> Description of Working Group:
|> |>
|> |> In order to communicate among themselves, ad hoc nodes (refer to
|RFC
|> |> 2501) need to configure their network interface(s) with local
|> |addresses
|> |> that are valid within an ad hoc network. Ad hoc nodes may also need
|to
|> |> configure globally routable addresses, in order to communicate with
|> |> devices on the Internet. From the IP layer perspective, an ad hoc
|> |> network presents itself as a L3 multi-hop network formed over a
|> |> collection of links.
|> |>
|> |> The main purpose of the AUTOCONF WG is to describe the addressing
|> |model
|> |> for ad hoc networks and how nodes in these networks configure their
|> |> addresses. It is required that such models do not cause problems
|for
|> |ad
|> |> hoc-unaware parts of the system, such as standard applications
|running
|> |> on an ad hoc node or regular Internet nodes attached to the ad hoc
|> |> nodes. This group's effort may include the development of new
|protocol
|> |> mechanisms, should the existing IP autoconfiguration mechanisms be
|> |found
|> |> inadequate. However, the first task of the working group is to
