Summary

The MANET working group meeting covered draft statuses, presentations on AODV version 2 and MANET internetworking, and discussions on the proposed new charter text. Key discussion points included the management of D-Lab settings, the applicability of the proposed charter additions, and the future direction of MANET internetworking research.

Key Discussion Points

D-Lab extension cluster draft: Progress being made, discussions ongoing. Lou requested to provide approvals.
AODV version 2: Presentation by Charlie Perkins on the NS3 model implementation. Discussion on performance characteristics (packet sizes, route requests/replies) and the potential for working group adoption.
MANET Internetworking: Fred Templin presented on Omnilink Overlay for global IPV6 addressing in MANETs, enabling internetworking and transit between MANETs. Discussion centered on addressing schemes, integration with existing networks (OSPF, BGP), and the applicability to different MANET scenarios.
Charter Text: Discussion on proposed additions to the charter text regarding management of D-Lab settings and making router state available. Concerns raised about the necessity and scope of these additions, particularly regarding the management of information learned from modems and radios.

Decisions and Action Items
