Hi all,

On routes to neighbours, I think the quickest easiest option is to specify
that a route to the neighbour is installed in order to send the RREP by
unicast (and thus avoid the need for multicast, and avoid rewriting the
RREP to include the intended next hop and act as the acknowledgement too).
Whether its right to choose the "quickest easiest" option is debatable, but
if this works for now, and we still have the option to change this at a
later date, I'd be happy to take this option.

Where are we on the gateway topic? Did anyone have any thoughts about
moving the applicability and gateway stuff into a separate draft as Keyur
suggested? How much, if anything, would then be necessary in the main
AODVv2 draft?

Regards,
Vicky.

Good morning all

As you all know, draft submission cut off time is 2359 UTC on Monday 6
July (= 0059 July 7 in UK). Vicky is on holiday next week, and Lotte is
fast approaching (if not already in) exam time, which means we need to go
firm on two topics currently under discussion by the time Vicky starts work
at 0900 UK time tomorrow (so that's 0100 Friday for Charlie, 0400 Stan and
1000 Lotte) in order for Vicky to make final substantive changes. Any
remaining scraps can be tidied up on the Monday 6th when Vicky returns from
holiday and we can submit.

I believe Working Group Last Call does not mean we can't make any more
changes. You'll have seen (and some of you have lived) the changes to DLEP
as it went through and following the last call period. We still haven't had
a great deal of feedback from the working group which means they're either
busy, don't have an opinion, or are ok with it, but regardless we still
need to plough on and come to consensus for now. Details can still be
worked on, and indeed I was just discussing with Vicky the prospect of an
author team call while most of us are at Prague.

So the two topics are gateways and routes to neighbours.

I'm not going to direct the outcome, that wouldn't be fair, but I need you
all to come to a position of "good enough for now", to arrive at a document
that we can all defend at Prague, and that position needs to be arrived at
by the time mentioned above. This may mean each of you need to concede on
certain points of detail, perhaps against your better judgement, but it
won't be the last time we can change things.

I'm really pleased with the progress, we have come a long way. Let's work
together to get these last points agreed (for now) and written up.

Thanks and Best Regards
John
