Hello folks,
The applicability statement has long been needing an update to
enable deployment of AODVv2 in *real* ad hoc networks for which there
may not be security associations available, but at times when simple
communication could be very important (e.g., saving lives in a
natural catastrophe), or where voice contact can be recognized so
that the voice application data integrity is less crucial.
I have discussed this with Adrian and I think he will agree to the
following...
Ad Hoc networks have been deployed in many circumstances, including
for emergency and disaster relief. In those circumstances, it is
sometimes the case that the simple ability to communicate is much
more important than being assured of secure operations. AODVv2 is
very well suited for such reactive scenarios. For other ad hoc
networking applications, in which insecure operation could negate the
value of establishing communication paths, it is important for
neighboring AODVv2 nodes to establish security associations with one
another.
Regards,
Charlie P.
