Subject: [manet] ZRP Should it be reversed

Good day everybody,

Just have some thoughts on ZRP, it employes proavtive component IARP on the local level, and reactive component IERP on the global (wider) level. This provides the protocol with a situation where every node has to probatively update it's local tables, therefore no real advantage for the battery life since you can not go to sleep mode.

Now the question is, why don't we reverse that? if the local updates are reactive, and only global updates are proactive, then a good knowldge of the network "skeleton" is available. I mean why not pro/reac instead of reac/pro, I assume you already went through this before, there must be a good reason.

Any idea out there?

Yasser
