Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector Version 2 (AODVv2) Routing
draft-ietf-manet-aodvv2-16

There is insufficient consensus within MANET to make the passage appropriate.  More importantly, perhaps, is that this lack of consensus is justified by the significance of the outstanding issues.  These issues include: security, metrics, multiple interface operation with shared ip addresses, possible looping, non-symmetric links, ordering of processing operations, lack of jitter specification, removal of timeouts, and gateway limitations.  Many of these issues have been discussed at length, and have apparent consensus solutions proposed and written up.  Yet, to address these issues, the underlying protocol specification operation has changed within the last call and I do not believe the document is without error.  The lack of reference implementation or analysis, in simulation or otherwise, reinforces this concern. 

The WG is re-chartering and this work is being released to the document editors.
