Guys,
The topic is no doubt interesting. We do, however, need to scope the work.
Two routing protocols and a flooding mechanism are already enough for one WG.
Options: a) wait until MANET is done and bring the topic then, and b) create
another mailing list, bring the topic there, see if anything good comes out
possibly ask for BOF. Talk to your WG chairs, please.

Networks (manet)
hi all,
IMHO it the MANET charter should amplify its scope to
address multicast.
best regards and merry xmas!

A modified charter has been submitted for the Mobile Ad-hoc
Networks
(manet)
working group in the Routing Area of the IETF. The IESG has
not made any
determination as yet. The following description was
submitted, and is

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (manet) ===
Current Status: Active Working Group
Description of Working Group:
The purpose of the MANET working group is to standardize IP routing
protocol functionality suitable for wireless routing application
within both static and dynamic topologies with increased
dynamics due
to node motion or other factors.
Approaches are intended to be relatively lightweight in nature,
suitable for multiple hardware and wireless environments,
and address
scenarios where MANETs are deployed at the edges of an IP
infrastructure. Hybrid mesh infrastructures (e.g., a
mixture of fixed
and mobile routers) should also be supported by MANET
specifications
and management features.
Using mature components from previous work on experimental reactive
and proactive protocols, the WG will develop two Standards track
routing protocol
specifications:
- Reactive MANET Protocol (RMP)
- Proactive MANET Protocol (PMP)
If significant commonality between RMRP and PMRP protocol
modules is
observed, the WG may decide to go with a converged
approach. Both IPv4
and IPv6 will be supported. Routing security requirements
and issues
will also be addressed.
The MANET WG will also develop a scoped forwarding protocol
that can
efficiently flood data packets to all participating MANET
nodes. The
primary purpose of this mechanism is a simplified best effort
multicast forwarding function. The use of this protocol is
intended to
be applied ONLY within MANET routing areas and the WG
effort will be
limited to routing layer design issues.
The MANET WG will pay attention to the OSPF-MANET protocol
work within
the OSPF WG and IRTF work that is addressing research
topics related
to MANET environments.
