Hello Thomas, I said: >> Do you _really_ want to exclude hosts from your network? >> Where will the applications reside? You said: > User applications (regular user applications) reside on hosts. Hosts are > accessing the network by way of being connected to (i.e. one IP hop away > from) a router. Of course I do not have a problem with running applications on MANET routers. I have proposed this for many years -- and in fact I do not in any way require that the applications reside on hosts that are one hop away from a router. My question was partly in jest -- but I do fully expect that non-routing hosts will be found in many or perhaps even most ad hoc networks. For instance, we will have sensor fields and transmit-only data aggregators (both of which do not need to be routers, but are likely to need addresses). I keep thinking this is totally obvious! > The connectivity between a host and a router is a "classic IP link", > and there are already excellent protocols in existence for managing > also autoconfiguration of addresses for hosts on classic IP links. My objection has been to disqualify non-routing hosts from receiving addresses by way of an [autoconf] protocol. There are of course known protocols (excellent or not, does not matter here) for configuring "classic hosts" on "classic IP links". I reckon we mean the same thing by those terms. My point is that there are almost certainly going to be non-routing hosts in <networks whose connectivity is established by MANET routers.> I would have just said "MANETs", but now we have so little agreement that we don't even know what a MANET is any more. > The connectivity between routers is.....who knows?

However, that's a matter > for routers to figure out and manage; hosts are exposed to a classic > IP link and are isolated by an IP hop from any specific connectivity > properties of the connectivity/links between routers. Here I have to disagree. A host may have an 802.11 link to a router, and be subject to every single last problem of indeterminate range, interference, link-local ambiguity, and the other concepts which have proved so difficult for [autoconf] to resolve (regardless of so much reputable research available). And, moreover, it's not up to the "routers". It's up to "us", because we're designing the routers (at least in [manet] wg, not in [autoconf]). Moreover, if a MANET router can work better by transacting new protocol with a host, then (a) the host may then considered to be something besides a "classic host", and (b) why not? Let's figure it out. But this does NOT mean that a network of the abovementioned variety has to REQUIRE changes to classic hosts; as an example, NEMO has made a lot of changes but still allows "classic" hosts to reside on mobile networks. Our situation is a bit different, insofar as mobile wireless hosts still must pay due respect to the realities of wireless. > Of course, there *may* be applications (for example, the routing demon) > running on routers and exposed to the specific connectivity properties > of the connectivity/links between routers.

Numerous studies have shown that applications can benefit from knowledge of bit-error rate, link capacity, jitter, and so on. Of course we'd prefer that applications not have to pay attention to CDMA vs. 802.11, etc. Nevertheless, I am sure that in a face-to-face meeting on this subject we would quickly find that we are in substantially complete agreement. >>> >> This architectural consideration thus separated the issue of >>> >> "configuring routers" from the issue of "configuring hosts" in this >>> >> context, and the rough consensus was that we would first focus on >>> >> configuring routers.

Surely, "configuring" routers and hosts should be done differently. This does NOT imply: (a) hosts should be barred from using the address allocation protocol established for MANET routers, or (b) hosts should run useless router code in order to make use of said address allocation protocol, or (c) the [autoconf] address allocation protocol design should proceed on the assumption that non-routing hosts are out of scope.
