Use of OSPF-MDR in Single-Hop Broadcast Networks
RFC 7038, “Use of OSPF-MDR in Single-Hop Broadcast Networks”, is an Experimental document published in October 2013 by R. Ogier. It updates RFC 5614. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
RFC 5614 (OSPF-MDR) extends OSPF to support mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) by specifying its operation on the new OSPF interface of type MANET. This document describes the use of OSPF-MDR (MANET Designated Router) in a single-hop broadcast network, which is a special case of a MANET in which each router is a (one-hop) neighbor of each other router. Unlike an OSPF broadcast interface, such an interface can have a different cost associated with each neighbor. The document includes configuration recommendations and simplified mechanisms that can be used in single-hop broadcast networks.
What “Experimental” means
