OLSRv2 Protocol Suite Interop Tools

This website provides tools for developers of OLSRv2 implementations to test their version. The goal is to help developers to have implementations that interoperate and that adhere to the OLSRv2 specs

draft-ietf-manet-packetbb-17

Packetbb-17 parsing applet: takes a hex dump of a packetbb packet and returns a human-readable textual description;

Packetbb-17 packet generation applet allows point-and-click construction of legal packetbb packets and returns a hex dump hereof.

A pcap file that contains a list of many possible combinations of packetbb-17 packets. Use TCPreplay to resend the packets within your network.

A .txt-file containing graphical/human-readable set the packets from the pcap file above, as well as a hexdump for feeding to a packetbb-parser.

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".

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.
