Given that the WG is working to define two standards
- Reactive MANET Protocol (RMP)
- Proactive MANET Protocol (PMP)
that may or may not converge, do we need to allocate
two port numbers so these protocols can co-exist?
There has also been a suggestion to allocate an IP protocol
number for a MANET routing protocol. Should this be
included in this draft?
The various MANET protocols are moving to packetbb which
will require the definition of several/many TLV identifiers.
Where are these type IDs going to be allocated and tracked?
If in the separate protocol drafts, is there a potential
problem with overlap if IDs? If so, perhaps the MANET
type IDs should be defined here.
draft-ietf-manet-packetbb-08 currently reserves IDs
"Message type 0 MUST NOT be allocated because a zero-octet signifies a
packet header and zero-octets are used for padding. Message types 1
to 4 are reserved because they are used by OLSR [4], which uses a
compatible packet/message header format."
Thanks
