The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Packet Sequence Number based directional airtime metric for OLSRv2' (draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-dat-metric-12.txt) as Experimental RFC This document is the product of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-dat-metric/ Technical Summary This document specifies an directional airtime link metric for usage in OLSRv2. A major shortcoming of OLSR was the use of hop count as a routing metric for MANET networks, which can have highly variable and heterogeneous link properties. OLSRv2 integrates the concept of link metrics directly into the core specification but the calculation and/or acquisition of this dimensionless additive link cost is not specified. Working Group Summary There were no working group issues with any specific points. Document Quality There are at least 3 different independent implementations. Most OLSRv2 implementation authors have either implemented this draft or at least voiced the desire to do so.
