Hi MANET CHairs,

IMHO it is strange or maybe very strange that this draft is proposing that
standard for protocols that are reactive and proactive protocols but does
not distinguish the usage of the standard for each protocol.

I ask that the authors edit and make it clear that packet/message format
usage depends on if the network is using 1) reactive, 2) proactive, 3)
hybrid. We need to discuss each separately,

I suggest we make three separate sections for each protocol category.

thanks
AB
