TBRPF is a proactive, link-state routing protocol designed for mobile
ad-hoc networks, which provides hop-by-hop routing along shortest
paths to each destination. Each node running TBRPF computes a source
tree (providing paths to all reachable nodes) based on partial
topology information stored in its topology table, using a
modification of Dijkstra's algorithm. To minimize overhead, each node
reports only *part* of its source tree to neighbors. TBRPF uses a
combination of periodic and differential updates to keep all
neighbors informed of the reported part of its source tree. Each node
also has the option to report additional topology information (up to
the full topology), to provide improved robustness in highly mobile
networks. TBRPF performs neighbor discovery using 'differential'
HELLO messages which report only *changes* in the status of
neighbors. This results in HELLO messages that are much smaller than
those of other link-state routing protocols such as OSPF.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-manet-tbrpf-09.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
