Hi Acee,

I distinguish between the word MANET and OSPF they are not the same thing but 
all are for same IETF. One is a network and the other is a protocol, so the 
network is more general than a protocol in terms of applicability.

Agreed.

The RFC5614 is specification related to the MANET network, but I know that this 
WG done the work, but I always think it is important to have joint work between 
related WGs participants not separation within IETF. All RFCs are for the same 
IETF so they should be related some how.

At a high level, I agree and this is why we have an IETF Last Call. In 
practice, the alignment of multiple WGs with overlapping charters is a 
difficult problem. However, in this specific case, I don't agree that it is 
desirable for there to be alignment. RFC 5444 is about packet formats and 
encoding for protocols in the MANET WG (as opposed to MANET networks in the 
broader sense). Hence, I don't see that it has applicability here and it may 
not even have applicability to MANET protocols that predate it.

Thanks,
Acee

Abdu,

This is an extension to an existing OSPF specification (FRC 5614). Even if it 
weren't, the OSPF WG has no mandate to adhere to RFC 5444 or any other MANET WG 
documents. Since this work was previously done in the OSPF WG, there is no 
reason to even consider bringing it to MANET (although we welcome their review).

Thanks,
Acee
