Re: [manet] A proposed draft "draft-peterlau-manet-topology-refresh"

Dear Peter, 

Thanks very much for your draft. 

Looking at the overview section:

Could you please briefly introduce what’s the difference between TRP and other proactive protocols like OLSR(v2)?

Especially, it would be very helpful for the readers to understand by providing a bit more text about the mechanism of the protocol in the overview. 

best
