Re: [Ospf-manet] Re: Ospf-manet Digest, Vol 11, Issue 2

Let me summarize where I think we are  - In Dallas I believe we did have
a "rough" consensus among those actively participated on the OSPF
wireless design team that the core OSPF MDR algorithm for flooding
and adjacency reduction should be the approach that we submit to the
OSPF/MANET WGs for consideration. This didn't include topology reduction
or some of the other enhancements that are confusing the discussion today.
We did vastly under estimate the arguments based on factors other than
those considered by the design team. These arguments came from
minority members of the design team including some who heretofore hadn't
participated as well as other interested individuals. These factors include
computation complexity, deployment momentum, disagreement with the
problem statement, and possibly even the reluctance or inability
to understand the MDR draft. Any others?

The question is where we go now. Independent of draft status,  it doesn't
look like we'll easily reach an agreement.Going forward with multiple 
drafts
is one option but everyone should realize that this will also impact future
optimizations which will undoubtedly be proposed for the contentious OSPF
MANET interface type.

Thanks,
Acee
