[manet] Proposed tweaks to charter text

[Juliusz Chroboczek <[e-mail]>]

Hi, and sorry for the delay.

qHere are a few proposed tweaks to the charter text.  Most are fairly
minor, the only one I feel strongly about is the removal of the sentence
about the overhead of proactive protocols.  I also feel it's important to
mention that the reliance of PIM-SM on RPF disqualifies it from (most)
MANETs, lest somebody be misled into thinking that PIM-SM can be easily
tweaked.


OLD: the protocol for exchange for link-related information

NEW: the protocol for exchange of link-related information


OLD: (mixtures of fixed and mobile routers)

NEW: (mixtures of fixed and mobile routers, and of wired and wireless links)


OLD: Babel and OLSRv2 meet this requirement

NEW: Babel and OLSRv2 meet these requirements


OLD: manual configurations or the inference of state through routing or
     transport protocols does not allow the router to make the best
     decisions.

NEW: manual configurations or the inference of state through routing or
     transport protocols is not practical.


OLD: The main advantage of reactive solutions is low protocol overhead.

NEW: (remove this sentence)


OLD: Traditional multicast routing solutions (e.g., PIM SM) tend to perform
     poorly in mobile ad hoc network environments, due to high churn of
     maintaining group membership state in the nodes in frequently changing
     network topologies.

NEW: Traditional multicast routing solutions, such as PIM-SM, are not
     applicable to the MANET environment due to their reliance on RPF as
     well as to the high churn of maintaining group membership state in
     frequently changing network topologies.


OLD: homogeneous link layer / physical layer technologies.

NEW: homogeneous link and physical layer technologies.


OLD: The WG will explore multicast routing solutions in support of
     heterogeneous wireless technology configurations and federated mobile
     ad hoc networks.

NEW: The WG will explore multicast routing solutions that are applicable
     in mobile ad-hoc networks and heterogeneous network topologies.


OLD: Multicast solutions for mobile ad hoc networks based on heterogeneous
     wireless technologies

NEW: Multicast solutions for mobile ad hoc networks based on heterogeneous,
     wired and wireless technologies


OLD: Exploring feasibility of Standards Track reactive routing solution
     based on AODVv2

NEW: Exploring feasibility of Standards Track reactive routing solutions,
     possibly based on AODVv2


OLD: Progressing DAT-metric specification

NEW: Progressing DAT metric specification


OLD: Babel extensions

NEW: Babel extensions and maintenance


OLD: OLSRv2 extensions

NEW: OLSRv2 extensions and maintenance


OLD: DLEP extensions, DLEP corrections & clarifications document

NEW: DLEP extensions and maintenance
