The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'Virtual Enterprise Traversal (VET)' <draft-templin-autoconf-dhcp-18.txt> as an Informational RFC. The IESG would also like the IRSG or RFC-Editor to review the comments in the datatracker (https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=14740&rfc_flag=0) related to this document and determine whether or not they merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both the ballot and the comment log. The IESG contact person is Ross Callon. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-templin-autoconf-dhcp-18.txt The process for such documents is described at http://www.rfc-editor.org/indsubs.html. Thank you, The IESG Secretary Technical Summary Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) connect routers on links with asymmetric reachability characteristics, and may also connect to other networks including the Internet. Routers in MANETs must have a way to automatically provision IP addresses/prefixes and other information. This document specifies a Virtual Enterprise Traversal (VET) abstraction for autoconfiguration and operation of routers in MANETs. Working Group Summary This document was submitted as an independent submission via the RFC editor. However, it is closely related to the work in the MANET WG, and is also very closely related to the work of the autoconf working group (in the Internet area). This document appears to partly overlap with one of the milestones in the autoconf WG, which states: Submit 'MANET router IPv6 prefix autoconfiguration mechanism' to IESG for publication as Proposed Standard RFC Document Quality The document is an independent submission via the RFC editor. The responsible AD is therefore reviewing this solely for overlap with IETF work. Personnel This is an independent submission via the RFC editor. Ross Callon has been acting as the AD to do the review for overlap with IETF work. RFC Editor Note After considerable discussion and call for input from the WG, we are recommending that the RFC editor publish the document, but with an IESG note (see below). The IESG thinks that this work is related to IETF work done in the autoconf WG, but this does not prevent publishing. IESG Note: This RFC is not a candidate for any level of Internet Standard. The IETF disclaims any knowledge of the fitness of this RFC for any purpose and in particular notes that the decision to publish is not based on IETF review for such things as security, congestion control, or inappropriate interaction with deployed protocols. The RFC Editor has chosen to publish this document at its discretion. Readers of this RFC should exercise caution in evaluating its value for implementation and deployment. See RFC 3932 for more information. Note that the IETF AUTOCONF Working Group is working on a a similar protocol solution that may become available in the future. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
