Re: [manet] What happened to ZRP ?

Laurent,

A ZRP variant has been used for open-air field-tests (10 - 25 node) every few months since last March.  The implementation is similar to, but not identical to, the ZRP drafts.  We also have a version that uses OLSR as its proactive component, that we use in our lab.

I offered to update the ZRP drafts into an RFC document last March -- but was told not to bother by Macker and Corson.  So, Zygmunt's still submitting items to the IRTF -- but I've dropped the issue for a while.  If ANS expresses serious interest in "hybrid" protocols -- and especially ones that allow designers to incorporate their favorite proactive/reactive components (e.g., OLSR and AODV) into a hybrid framework -- then I'll contribute to I-Ds based on my group's field experience.

We will be updating the ZRP draft in the near future with some implementation 
experience that we have gathered recently. 

In particular, we want to emphasize the *scalability* aspect of ZRP. Thus,
we expect to submit the revised draft to the IRTF ANS group
(http://www.flarion.com/ans-research/).

If you need the old drafts, those are still available on our web page at:
