RE: [Autoconf] About an update ofdraft-bernardos-manet-autoconf-survey

A quick comment unless I missed it in the first reading. While not a general
approach for merging/fragmenting there have been MANET autoconfiguration
approaches using dhcp relay and distributed RADV with for simple stub
connected MANET deployments.  These are pragmatic approaches and should be
mentioned along with their respective deployment limitations.  The best
practices are a little different in that you dont want to assign the pooled
address prefix to the interface but rather a set of subprefixes possibly a
host specific prefix.  DHCP configurations support this with little or no
protocol modifications (e.g., pass specific prefix with the assignment).

I am not suggesting this as the general approach, but wanted to point out
this has been done for working stub MANET networks and perhaps should be
mentioned in a comprehensive survey of existing methods.  There may be other
references but there are some example uses and discussion in:

Macker, J.P. and M.S. Corson, "Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: Routing Technology
for Dynamic, Wireless Networks", S. Basagni et al., eds., Mobile Ad Hoc
Networking, Chapter 9, IEEE Press, 2003.
