Re: [Roll] Some LLNs are NOT MANETs

Hi, 

This is an interesting discussion.

My understanding is that both MANET and ROLL considers lossy/dynamic links in the way described in the MANET charter :  "static and dynamic topologies with increased dynamics due to node motion or other factors." I also agree that dynamicity of links is not hard wired to node mobility.

So, in the LLN Vs MANET debate, I think they share the "N" for Networks, and the 2nd "L" for Lossy.
So the remaining point is the first L, meaning Low Power.

Low Power requirements is explicit in the ROLL charter and not mentioned at all in the MANET charter.
Is the power efficiency consideration the big difference between ROLL and MANET ?

Cédric.

Hi Henning,

I am about to say many LLNs are NOT MANETs but it seems like the market or community will decide the outcome, but surly that some LLNs are NOT MANETs.

I not totally agree with that, because we need to be considering both NETs use case and applicability in the vision of the different WGs (MANET and ROLL). There are many examples we can find them in the [RFC2501] for MANETs characteristics and applicability, and for LLNs characteristics in [RFC5548], [RFC5673], [RFCRFC5826], and [RFC5867] including LLNs requirements. That is why I suggested before that
OLSRv2 and AODVv2 should mention their applicability to LLN if they do. They just refer to RFC2501, but RFC2501 is OLD and does not mention LLN but describes the meaning. The authors of RFC2501 still not responded to my update suggestions.

I understood from one discussion in MANET WG that few don't have time to read many pages of documents, so that is why I suggested to have terminology I-D [1] as we have ROLL terminology [ROLL] . I also taken initiative to make new draft of  MANET subnet technologies which include only related LLNs [AB2].

Therefore, I will add the definition for MANET and LLN into my manet-terminology draft [AB1] (propose that authors of [ROLL] define LLN more details) to assist discussions as it is proved now in the list that there still is problems in definitions in MANET WG or in some I-D editorial content.
