A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks of the IETF. Title : Rules For Designing Protocols Using the RFC 5444 Generalized Packet/ Message Format Authors : Thomas Clausen Christopher Dearlove Ulrich Herberg Henning Rogge Filename : draft-ietf-manet-rfc5444-usage-03.txt Pages : 22 Date : 2016-04-05 Abstract: This document updates the generalized MANET packet/message format, specified in RFC 5444, by providing rules and recommendations for how protocols can use that packet/message format. In particular, the mandatory rules prohibit a number of uses of RFC 5444 that have been suggested in various proposals, and which would have led to interoperability problems, to the impediment of protocol extension development, and to an inability to use generic RFC 5444 parsers.
