I was recently reading SIGMOBILE's newsletter and it looks like the
MANET WG in the IETF has recently decided to move from Experimental to
Proposed Standard. They're distilling the different continuous and on-
demand protocols into two new ones, DMYO and OSLR. While I don't think
the issue they're struggling with (e.g., header customization) are that
relevant here, it might be good to take a look, from an academic
perspective.
