The IESG has received a request from the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks WG (manet) to consider the following document: - 'Security Threats for the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2 (OLSRv2)' <draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-sec-threats-03.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-12-20. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document analyzes common security threats of the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2 (OLSRv2) and describes their potential impacts on Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) operations. It then analyzes which of these security vulnerabilities can be mitigated when using the mandatory-to-implement security mechanisms for OLSRv2, and how the vulnerabilities are mitigated. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-sec-threats/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-sec-threats/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
