Re: [manet] R2RI Framework and Requirements

Router-smart-modem interface technology isn't only applicable to MANETs - consider DVB-S2 ACM/VCM deployed on satellite links, or how varying ADSL can support the networks behind it as rate change and QoS get reconfigured.

Some more general thoughts on this are in the documents at:

Subject: [manet] R2RI Framework and Requirements

Hi all,

Back in Sept and November 2011, there was some discussion on the list of potentially authoring some framework to help discuss and evaluate radio-to-router interface (R2RI) protocol technology (such as DLEP).

We've put together a start on that framework for consideration for adoption by the MANET WG and would love your feedback.

A new version of I-D, draft-bcheng-r2ri-framework-00.txt has been successfully submitted by Bow-Nan Cheng and posted to the IETF repository.

Filename:  draft-bcheng-r2ri-framework
Revision:  00
Title:  Radio to Router Interface Framework and Requirements
Creation date:  2012-02-13
WG ID:  Individual Submission
Number of pages: 14

Abstract:
   In highly dynamic, heterogeneous radio MANET environments where links
   are constantly changing, standardizing information exchange between
   the radio and router such that routers can make informed  routing
   decision based on link layer information over heterogeneous link
   types becomes a key area to address. This document defines the basic
   framework for radio-to-router interface communications as well as
   requirements and considerations for evaluating radio-to-router
   interface technologies for use in MANETs.
