|Autoconfiguration (autoconf)
|
|I would like to suggest: add explicitely that the practical addressing
|model should work at least with manual and static routes.  And that the
|practical addressing model should not be preconditioned by the use of
|OLSR nor DYMO in the ad-hoc network.

I think the addressing model has little to do with the method how to assign
and configure the addresses. This is a next step. I wonder if any model
exclude what you are asking for. Worried for some reason???

I would not suggest working with static routes in a mobile ad hoc network.

I agree on the last one, the model should apply to other MANET Routing
Protocols as well. OSPF-MANET is an important one, not forgetting others,
including multicast.
 
|Also suggest: specifically mention which link-layers are being
|considered for ad-hoc networks.  I personally consider 802.11, 802.15.4,
|wired Ethernet, USB and eventually 802.16.  If anybody else considers
|other link-layers please mention them.

I consider other link layers, but I will not mention them. I do not know all
details or even a complete list. And if I would, it doesn't help. I think it
is sufficient and more useful to describe the MANET link characteristics.

Teco.

|> 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
|describe
|> one practical addressing model for ad hoc networks.
|>
|> Once this sole work item is completed, the group can be rechartered to
|> work on additional issues.
|>
|> Goals and Milestones:
|>
|> Apr 2009 Submit initial draft on address configuration in ad hoc
|networks
|> Sep 2009 Submit address configuration draft to IESG as Informational
|or
|> close WG
