Working Group, I will not be passing AODVv2 out of the working group and to the IESG. This was not an easy decision, nor one made lightly. However, despite many attempts to draft this email otherwise, I found I could not justify AODVv2’s release. AODVv2 is released to the document editors. The following is the rationale for my decision. There is insufficient consensus within MANET to make the passage appropriate. More importantly, perhaps, is that this lack of consensus is justified by the significance of the outstanding issues. These issues include: security, metrics, multiple interface operation with shared ip addresses, possible looping, non-symmetric links, ordering of processing operations, lack of jitter specification, removal of timeouts, and gateway limitations. Many of these issues have been discussed at length, and have apparent consensus solutions proposed and written up. In fact, the progress within the past month has been impressive. Yet, to address these issues, the underlying protocol specification operation has changed within the last call and I do not believe the document is without error. The lack of reference implementation or analysis, in simulation or otherwise, reinforces this concern. Despite these flaws, I continue to believe AODVv2 is better specified in many ways than AODV, as it acknowledges and attempts to solve issues AODV does not even mention such as: multiple interfaces (beyond a passing sentence), designed with security in mind, extendable with the use of RFC5444, metric based routing built in, gateway support (although limited), bi-directional link checking. There is value in this draft and it is my hope that it can be published in some form. I am personally willing to help make that happen. To the editors who worked so hard, you were given an impossible task: to address WG concerns, form consensus and provide verifiable fixes within the timeframe provided. When issuing the last call and doing my review I was not sure that it was impossible, and held out hope until the very moment of this decision that it wasn’t. I am sorry that I was mistaken. The amount of work produced in the last month has been impressive but at this time I’m not willing to pass it out of the working group. Justin
