Extensions to OSPF to Support Mobile Ad Hoc Networking
RFC 5820, “Extensions to OSPF to Support Mobile Ad Hoc Networking”, is an Experimental document published in March 2010 by A. Roy, M. Chandra. It has since been updated by RFC 7137. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes extensions to OSPF to support mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The extensions, called OSPF-OR (OSPF-Overlapping Relay), include mechanisms for link-local signaling (LLS), an OSPF-MANET interface, a simple technique to reduce the size of Hello packets by only transmitting incremental state changes, and a method for optimized flooding of routing updates. OSPF-OR also provides a means to reduce unnecessary adjacencies to support larger MANETs. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
