The IESG has received a request from the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks WG (manet) to consider the following document: - 'Link Metrics for the Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Routing Protocol OLSRv2 - Rationale' <draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-metrics-rationale-02.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 2013-03-11. 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 OLSRv2 includes the ability to assign metrics to links and to use those metrics to allow routing by other than minimum hop count routes. This document provides a historic record of the rationale for, and design considerations behind, how link metrics were included in OLSRv2. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-metrics-rationale/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-metrics-rationale/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
