I haven’t yet found time to read this (I’m still hoping to before indicated 
date).

But one thing immediately jumps out.

The document references the four Experimental protocols produced by the MANET 
WG. It references a draft produced for OSPF. From recollection, there were 
three separate drafts produced for OSPF, all of which became Experimental RFCs. 
But two are not referred to.

But there is also a Proposed Standard MANET routing protocol, OLSRv2, RFC 7181. 
Its omission is clearly quite wrong. Which indicates a rewriting of Section 2 
at least. ( I’m an author of that RFC. But I think it’s pretty objective that 
it should be there. And I have no connection to the OSPF drafts, and I think 
it’s pretty objective all or none - and I see no reason why not all - should be 
there.)

There are of course many other protocols; the only other one that I’m aware of 
and might need mentioning (here I need to read the draft) is NHDP (RFC 6130). 
This can be viewed as the neighbourhood discovery part of OLSRv2, but is 
specified as a separate protocol. Some of this paper is about neighbours, and 
possibly it may be appropriate to reference RFC 6130, but also possibly it 
might not. (I’m an author of that RFC too.)

While posting, but nits, two other things jumped out at me. One is the white 
space on page 6. The other (since I was looking at references) is the rather 
odd reference DoD01 with two authors, then a title, then an editor. Of course 
the RFC Editor would in due course change this to whatever is approved style, 
but might as well get it closer.

And now, looking at my records, I see I have already made (and since forgotten) 
my main comment (though I didn’t then discuss the OSPF situation) in January, 
and nothing was done, though there was an indication it should be then. I don’t 
think this should have proceeded to WGLC with that unaddressed.

That trip into records indicated there was a comment then (not from me) about 
the security considerations section. It’s worth noting that there’s a security 
framework for OLSRv2, and other protocols to use the manet part/protocol (as 
specified in RFC 5498) in RFC 7182.
