Dear all, 

FYI, there is a new draft in the management architecture for MANET. 

This draft is created on the request of Benoit Claise, operations and management AD. During the NHDP-MIB IESG evaluation, Benoit Claise agreed to let the draft pass under the condition that we promise to write a draft describing the applicability of MANET management, to answer the question "what to manage in MANETs, and how to manage MANETs". 
In the meantime, OLSRv2-MIB has completed WGLC in Dec. 2012, and expected to proceed to AD review soon. It's very likely that the OLSRv2-MIB draft won't pass Benoit in the IESG evaluation, without such management applicability draft, ideally as WG document. 
This draft has exactly that purpose. Benoit have already given feedback on the outline, and said that we are in the right direction. 

The draft is still at -00, mainly to provide a general idea and the outline. We would like to:

	- have comments from the WG on the draft, mainly the structure of the document (the details are still to be polished by the authors). 
	- request a slot to present the draft in the upcoming IETF (haven't decided who will present yet)
	- see the draft to be adopted by the WG shortly after IETF in Orlando, so that the MIB documents won't be jeopardized. 

best

Jiazi

> Abstract:
>   This document aims at providing an extended architecture, use case
>   and applicability statement for management of MANETs, as a guideline
>   for how to manage MANETs.  This document describes different
>   management activities, such as network configuration, monitoring of
>   state, monitoring of performance, fault management, and software
>   upgrades.  Different aspects of a MANET management architecture are
>   illustrated (e.g., distributed vs. centralized management, flat vs.
>   hierarchical management, management of an entire network vs. an
>   individual router, etc.) and contrasted to the NMS architecture in
>   the Internet.  A desciption of typical MANET use cases relevant for
>   management is followed by an overview of current standard management
>   protocols that can be used in MANETs.
