OLSRv2 Interops

Standardization is progressing, and we're organizing annual Interop/Workshops, specifically for implementors of OLSRv2 and its constituent parts. In 2004, the Interop/Workshop was in San Diego, USA, in 2005 in Paris, France, in 2006 in Japan, in 2008 in Ottawa, Canada and in 2009, the OLSR Interop/Wokshop was in Vienna.

Additionally, we're happy to make available some OLSRv2 Protocol Suite Interop Tools.

T. Clausen and U. Herberg at IEEE-NSS 2010 in Melbourne, Australia, September 1-3
They will present the paper "Router and Link Admittance Control in the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2 (OLSRv2))". Part of the OLSRv2 Security series of publications documenting efforts on providing secure, OLSRv2-based networks, this paper studies the use and performance of "fine-grained signatures".

Here's some more OLSRv2-security-related information on the Hipercom@LIX website:

T. Clausen and U. Herberg at IEEE-iTAP 2010 in Wuhan, China, August 21-23
They will present the paper "Digital Signatures for Admittance Control in the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2". Part of the OLSRv2 Security series of publications documenting efforts on providing secure, OLSRv2-based networks, this paper emphasizes the use and performance of ECC for admittance control in OLSRv2-based networks.

IETF in Maastricht
Before and during the IETF in Maastricht, July 25-30 2010 a new slew of I-Ds happened, from the quills of Hipercom@LIX:

NHDP was updated after AD review, and IESG evaluation started - hopefully, this is the second-to-last document in the core OLSRv2 protocol suite.

The OLSRv2 mib document also was updated as was the NHDP mib document and the the PacketBB-SEC document -- the latter of which now is a working group document (yay!).

A new I-D, YAAP was published, detailing one current ad hoc address autoconfiguration protocol.

In the Wireless Sensor Networking area, two new documents were published: a p2p (sensor-to-sensor) extension to RPL and a performance study hereof.
