Use of the OSPF-MANET Interface in Single-Hop Broadcast Networks
Abstract
This document describes the use of the OSPF-MANET interface in
single-hop broadcast networks. It includes a mechanism to
dynamically determine the presence of such a network and specific
operational considerations due to its nature.
This document updates RFC 5820.

1. Introduction
The OSPF-MANET interface [RFC5820] uses the point-to-multipoint
adjacency model over a broadcast media to allow the following:
o All router-to-router connections are treated as if they were
point-to-point links.
o The link metric can be set on a per-neighbor basis.
o Broadcast and multicast can be accomplished through the Layer 2
broadcast capabilities of the media.

RFC 7137 MANET Single-Hop Broadcast Networks February 2014
It is clear that the characteristics of the MANET interface can also
be beneficial in other types of network deployments -- specifically,
in single-hop broadcast capable networks that may have a different
cost associated with any pair of nodes.
This document updates [RFC5820] by describing the use of the MANET
interface in single-hop broadcast networks; this consists of its
simplified operation by not requiring the use of overlapping relays
as well as introducing a new heuristic for smart peering using the
Router Priority.
1.1. Single-Hop Broadcast Networks
The OSPF extensions for MANETs assume the ad hoc formation of a
network over bandwidth-constrained wireless links, where packets may
traverse several intermediate nodes before reaching their destination
