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.
