The IESG has received a request from the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks WG
(manet) to consider the following document:
- 'Snapshot of OLSRv2-Routed MANET Management'
<draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-management-snapshot-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 2015-06-12. 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 describes how Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are
typically managed, in terms of pre-deployment management, as well as
rationale and means of monitoring and management of MANET routers
running the Optimized Link State Routing protocol version 2 (OLSRv2)
and its constituent MANET Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NHDP).
Apart from pre-deployment management for setting up IP addresses and
security related credentials, OLSRv2 only needs routers to agree one
single configuration parameter (called "C"). Other parameters for
tweaking network performance may be determined during operation of
the network, and need not be the same in all routers. This, using
MIB modules and related management protocols such as SNMP (or
possibly other, less "chatty", protocols). In addition, for
debugging purposes, monitoring data and performance related counters,
as well as notifications ("traps") can be sent to the Network
Management System (NMS) via standardized management protocols.
