The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Packet Sequence Number based directional airtime metric for OLSRv2'
  (draft-ietf-manet-olsrv2-dat-metric-12.txt) as Experimental RFC

This document is the product of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah
Brungard.

Technical Summary

   This document specifies an directional airtime link 
   metric for usage in OLSRv2.  A major shortcoming of 
   OLSR was the use of hop count as a routing metric for 
   MANET networks, which can have highly variable and 
   heterogeneous link properties.  OLSRv2 integrates the 
   concept of link metrics directly into the core specification 
   but the calculation and/or acquisition of this dimensionless 
   additive link cost is not specified.  

Working Group Summary

  There were no working group issues with any specific points.  

Document Quality

   There are at least 3 different independent implementations.  
   Most OLSRv2 implementation authors have either implemented 
   this draft or at least voiced the desire to do so.
