The IESG has approved the following document: - 'The Dynamic Source Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (DSR) ' <draft-ietf-manet-dsr-10.txt> as an Experimental RFC This document is the product of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bill Fenner and Ross Callon. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-manet-dsr-10.txt Technical Summary The Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) is a routing protocol designed specifically for use in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks of mobile nodes. DSR allows the network to be completely self-organizing and self-configuring, without the need for any existing network infrastructure or administration. Working Group Summary The Working Group had consensus to publish the four existing protocols as Experimental, as the first step down the path towards DYMO. Protocol Quality Bill Fenner reviewed the specification for the IESG. Note to RFC Editor Please make the following two changes: OLD (title): The Dynamic Source Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (DSR) NEW: The Dynamic Source Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (DSR) for IPv4 OLD (near the end of section 1, change "are" to "will be"): This document specifies the operation of the DSR protocol for routing unicast IPv4 packets in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks. Advanced, optional features, such as Quality of Service (QoS) support and efficient multicast routing, and operation of DSR with IPv6 [7], are covered in other documents. NEW: This document specifies the operation of the DSR protocol for routing unicast IPv4 packets in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks. Advanced, optional features, such as Quality of Service (QoS) support and efficient multicast routing, and operation of DSR with IPv6 [7], will be covered in other documents. IANA Note Please reassign IP Protocol 48 to DSR. David Johnson (the main author of DSR) was able to confirm that this protocol number was originally assigned for a proposal for Mobile IP (Mobile Host Routing Protocol) that was never deployed. Under RFC 2780 section 4.3, this is the IESG Approval of this assignment. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
