Abstract

This article is the first in a series intended to chronicle the status of work underway within the Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). This article provides a short history and high-level, conceptual tutorial of MANET technology. We present an overview of the working group's vision and charter, and a glimpse into a technical architecture under consideration for achieving this vision.
