1. AODV status update Changes in draft …-10
Progress towards Experimental RFC
Implementer’s mailing list
Interoperability testing
Futures workshop

2. Changes since draft …-09 Reorganized text so that:
Incoming messages change routing information
Outgoing messages utilize information from route table
Affected: RERR, RREP
Specified that sequence numbers are to be compared as signed ints
Changed terminology to replace “FLOODING_ID” by “RREQ_ID”, since the exact meaning of what “flooding” means is up for discussion now
Clarified that RREQs do not have to be retransmitted over every network interface, depending upon type of medium and domain of ad hoc coverage.

3. Progress towards Experimental RFC
Very good but late comments received from Yih-Chun Hu
Good but late comment received from Manel Guerrero Zapata
should a node remember its sequence number across reboots
Excellent comments received from Bill Fenner and Alex Zinin
All of these comments will be resolved in a new draft version of AODV to be produced before April. Discussion should continue on the mailing list; I will try to send text tonight or tomorrow with proposed resolutions
No changes in packet formats will be needed. There are two egregious mistakes in draft …-10 that need to be fixed right away
missing RREQ_RETRIES definition (should be 2)
RREQ_IDs should be stored for PATH_DISCOVERY_TIME, not PATH_TRAVERSAL_TIME

4. AODV Interoperability testing
Starts next week with 7 different implementations from different organizations
Implementers mailing list (currently almost 100 members):
Linux freeware implementations (forgot the URL )
Possibly AODV-6 release upcoming (Ryuji Wakikawa)

5. AODV workshop
Held immediately preceding MobiHOC 2002 in Lausanne, Switzerland
Intended for anyone who wants to provide vision for the future evolution of AODV
progress towards Proposed Standard
QoS extensions
Multipath (very encouraging results from Samir Das)
Flooding backbone
Multicast
Interoperability with Mobile IP{,v6}
Service Location
Any other business
Progress of Globalv6 and Globalv4 draft
