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.

The MANET WG is responsible for the maintenance of RFC5444, NHDP,
OLSRv2, and DLEP.

Work Items:

  • The MANET WG will standardize a multicast MANET protocol framework
    based on SMF [RFC 6621] for scoped forwarding within MANET networks.
    As part of this framework the WG will produce a well defined MANET
    multicast forwarding information base (FIB).

  • The WG will produce an informational draft outlining challenges and
    best practices for deploying and managing MANET networks.

  • DLEP extensions for reporting statistics by traffic classification.
