FW: Last Call: <draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-15.txt> (The Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2) to Proposed Standard

["Adrian Farrel" <[e-mail]>]

I consulted with the writer of this email about copying to the IETF list and he
asked the IESG to decide. I believe that it is helpful that technical comments
be aired in public, therefore I am forwarding an edited version of his email.

Authors, please include this in the responses that you will be generating.

Thanks,
Adrian

> OLSRv2 is applicable for more scenarios and routers that are
> constraint devices.
