Fwd: [manet] IP addresses in MANET

Oki all,

This is from the mobile ad-hoc routing (manet wg) list.

For those on the geopriv list who think the world is a cell phone,
or some other carrier serviced oyster, this may not appear to be a
problem.

The question posed is how can addressing (possibly routable network
topology) reflect (not necessarily coordinate based) locality?

Note: manet "lives" on a manifold (something locally Euclidean, or
        quasi-Euclidean), uses ip, and in this discussion thread, it
        connects to the catanet.
        geopriv appears to "live" on only a three-sphere, and may use
        ip.
        
I simply want to let folks know that other people occasionally bump into
geo-route.

Cheers,
Eric

In my opinion some addressing scheme inspired from Virtual IP would be really
useful in MANET framework: we might think to bind real IP addresses to the
locality (or to a cluster) and this could reduce most of the network traffic
related to routing management. (Routing tables would change with a lower
frequency)
If the Virtual IP (the name of the node) doesn't change even iin the case of
a migration it is possible for the others to track its movement and to use
the services it shows as soon as it reconnects somewhere into the MANET.
Is it meaningfull? I'd like to have your opinion...
