Hi,
We wanted to inform you that a new Mailing List has been set up, the
aim of which is to discuss Routing for Sensor Networks (at the IP
layer). Anybody interested in contributing to the work is of course
more than welcome to subscribe and collaborate. To register: https://
www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/rsn
Several of you already expressed some real interest in this work and
several documents (with currently no home WG) already exist. David
and I posted are about to post an ID on the routing requirements for
Sensor Networks (probably early next week) to kick off the discussion.
What is the overall objective ?
1) As you know a plethora of proprietary routing protocols (thus
outside of the IETF) have been developed and there is within the IETF
currently no clear answer on which protocol(s) can satisfy the very
specific requirements of Sensor Networks. This triggered this
initiative so as to define a routing architecture and routing
protocol at the IETF for Sensor Nets, thus this new mailing list.
Note that we may not be able to come up with a single set of
requirements but a few requirement documents accompanied with some
applicability IDs if it turns out that a unique solution cannot
satisfy them all.
2) There is at this stage no a priori on the routing protocol that
could be used: it could either be (1) existing routing protocol(s)
(AODV, DYMO, OLSR, Triggered RIP, NEMO, ...) (1) existing routing
protocol(s) with enhancements or (3) new routing protocol(s).
Possible next steps
If enough interest for this work is shown on the list, we will
request a BOF for Chicago, which may lead to forming a new WG.
JP and David.
