MITRE Common Layer 3

Common Layer 3 presents an approach that allows an algorithm to choose IP routing peers intelligently among the nodes in a MANET but does not involve any modifications to existing IP routing protocols. In addition, our approach works as a pure interface between (any) MANET radio terminal and any IP router, so nodes using our interface interoperate with nodes that do not use this interface or with nodes using different algorithms to select routing peers. This software is a prototype of the Common Layer 3 interface for two different mobility patterns on a mobile network using OLSR for MANET routing and OSPFv2 for IP routing. Draft RFC describing this interface in detail may be found at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-shaio-manet-common-l3-interface/.
