[manet] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-ietf-manet-nhdp-optimization-02.txt

[Thomas Clausen <[e-mail]>]

All,

We’ve updated draft-ietf-manet-nhdp-optimization, to reference the recently published draft-ietf-manet-rfc6779bis (which allowed removing the MIB considerations section from this I-D) added by way of a paragraph to the introduction.

Of course, in an attempt to prove that I’m almost as human as our AD, I ended up submitting a -01 which contained a wrong (& convoluted) version of that paragraph….hence, this recent submission of -02.

In both -01, we also cleaned up a couple of warnings that IDnits threw at us.

In accordance with what Stan proposed a short while back, we’d like to ask that the WG chairs issue a WGLC for:

	o	draft-ietf-manet-nhdp-optimization
	o	draft-ietf-manet-rfc6779bis

Given that this is a question that is bound to come up, might as well take it now:

	“This co-author of these two I-Ds confirm, that he’s not aware of any IPR related to
	  these documents"

Ball over to Stan now ;)

Best,

Thomas

> Abstract:
>   The link quality mechanism of the MANET Neighborhood Discovery
>   Protocol (NHDP) enables "ignoring" some 1-hop neighbors if the
>   measured link quality from that 1-hop neighbor is below an acceptable
>   threshold, while still retaining the corresponding link information
>   as acquired from HELLO message exchange.  This allows immediate
>   reinstatement of the 1-hop neighbor if the link quality later
>   improves sufficiently.
> 
>   NHDP also collects information about symmetric 2-hop neighbors.
>   However it specifies that if a link from a symmetric 1-hop neighbor
>   ceases being symmetric, including while "ignored" as described above,
>   then corresponding symmetric 2-hop neighbors are removed.  This may
>   lead to symmetric 2-hop neighborhood information being permanently
>   removed (until further HELLO messages are received) if the link
>   quality of a symmetric 1-hop neighbor drops below the acceptable
>   threshold, even if only for a moment.
> 
>   This specification updates RFC6130 "Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET)
>   Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NHDP)", and RFC7181 "The Optimized
>   Link State Routing Protocol version 2 (OLSRv2)" to permit retaining,
>   but ignoring, symmetric 2-hop information when the link quality from
>   the corresponding 1-hop neighbor drops below the acceptable
>   threshold.  This allows immediate reinstatement of the symmetric
>   2-hop neighbor if the link quality later improves sufficiently, thus
>   making the symmetric 2-hop neighborhood more "robust".
