(1) What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard, Internet Standard,
Informational, Experimental, or Historic)? Why is this the proper type of RFC? Is this
type of RFC indicated in the title page header?
Publication as experimental is requested. This is indicated in the title
page header.
The document specifies a multi-topology extension to RFC7181 (OLSRv2), for
which a stable specification is required for gaining operational experience
prior to advancing onto standards track. The document contains a section
"Motivation and Experimentation" indicating which experiments this
specification, particularly, is intended to facilitate.
(2) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement Write-Up.
Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up. Recent examples can be
found in the "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval
announcement contains the following sections:
Technical Summary:
This specification describes an extension to the Optimized Link State
Routing Protocol version 2 (OLSRv2) to support multiple routing
topologies, while retaining interoperability with OLSRv2 routers that
do not implement this extension.
Working Group Summary:
Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there
controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was
particularly rough?

consensus behind publication of this document as an Experimental RFC
appears solid.
Document Quality:

vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers
that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in
important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If
there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert review, what was its course
(briefly)? In the case of a Media Type review, on what date was the request posted?
There are two experimental implementations of the specification.

in general (reflected in the acknowledgements section).

AD and IESG processing.
(6) Describe any specific concerns or issues that the Document Shepherd has with this
document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the IESG should be aware of?

discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document,
detail those concerns here.
The document shepherd has no specific concerns with this document.
(7) Has each author confirmed that any and all appropriate IPR disclosures required
for full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79 have already been
filed. If not, explain why?
Each author has confirmed that they are not aware of any IPR requiring
disclosure.
(8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document? If so, summarize
any WG discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR disclosures.
No IPR disclosures have been filed, referencing this document.
(9) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it represent the
strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the WG as a
whole understand and agree with it?
The WG consensus behind this document appears solid. Several reviews
have been made, and it has been discussed on the list and at WG meetings
since IETF87.
(10) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If
so, please summarize the areas of conflict in separate email messages to the
Responsible Area Director. (It should be in a separate email because this
questionnaire is publicly available.)
No appeals have been threatened.
No extreme discontent has been indicated.
(11) Identify any ID nits the Document Shepherd has found in this document. (See
http://www.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ and the Internet-Drafts Checklist). Boilerplate checks
are not enough; this check needs to be thorough.
IDNIT returns no errors and no warnings.
(12) Describe how the document meets any required formal review criteria, such as
the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews.
This document does not require any of these reviews.
(13) Have all references within this document been identified as either normative or
informative?
All references have been identified as either normative or informative.
(14) Are there normative references to documents that are not ready for advancement
or are otherwise in an unclear state? If such normative references exist, what is the
plan for their completion?
All normative references are to already published RFC at the same,
or on a higher, maturity level.
All informative references are to already published RFC at the same,
or on a higher, maturity level.
(15) Are there downward normative references references (see RFC 3967)? If so, list
these downward references to support the Area Director in the Last Call procedure.
There are no downward references.
(16) Will publication of this document change the status of any existing RFCs? Are
those RFCs listed on the title page header, listed in the abstract, and discussed in the
introduction? If the RFCs are not listed in the Abstract and Introduction, explain why,

other RFCs is discussed. If this information is not in the document, explain why the
WG considers it unnecessary.
This document does not change the status if any existing RFCs.
(17) Describe the Document Shepherd's review of the IANA considerations section,
especially with regard to its consistency with the body of the document.
The document shepherd has reviewed the IANA considerations section, which
is both consistent with the body of the document, and straight-forward in
that for each registry modified, the document provides "replacement tables"
for how the registry shall look after being updated by this document.
Confirm that all protocol extensions that the document makes are associated with the
appropriate reservations in IANA registries.
This is confirmed.
Confirm that any referenced IANA registries have been clearly identified.
All referenced IANA registries have been clearly identified.
Confirm that newly created IANA registries include a detailed specification of the initial
contents for the registry, that allocations procedures for future registrations are
defined, and a reasonable name for the new registry has been suggested (see RFC
5226).
This document does not create any new IANA registries.
(18) List any new IANA registries that require Expert Review for future allocations.
Provide any public guidance that the IESG would find useful in selecting the IANA
Experts for these new registries.
This document does not create any new IANA registries.
This specification adds one new Message TLV, MPR_TYPES, allocated as a new
Type Extension to an existing Message TLV from RFC7181. The relevant registry
is established by Table 11 of [RFC7181]. This specification also modifies the
Value field of an existing Message TLV, MPR_WILLING, established in Table 11
of [RFC7181].
This specification provides, in Table 2, how the registry will look after
these allocations and modifications have been made
This specification updates the description of the IANA allocation for the
GATEWAY Address Block TLV Type, established in Table 16 of
[RFC7181].
This specification provides, in Table 3, how the registry will look after
these allocations and modifications have been made
This specification makes additional allocations for "administrative assignment" of
metrics types from the LINK_METRIC Address Block TLV Type registry,
established by Table 13 of [RFC7181].
This specification provides, in Table 4, how the registry will look after
these allocations and modifications have been made
(19) Describe reviews and automated checks performed by the Document Shepherd to
validate sections of the document written in a formal language, such as XML code,
