Only OSPFv3 is compatible with Cisco?

[sir_ulrick]

Hi, 

I would like to develop a MANET, so I'm investigating about protocols compatible with Cisco, but is not possible to find any implementation about famous protocols (OLSR,AODV, etc), only I find a posibility with OSPFv3. Is not possible to use a different protocol?

Hi @sir_ulrick 

I found this document:

https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en_us/solutions/industries/docs/gov/OSPFv3manet_aag.pdf

Check if it is useful to you.

Hi luis_cordova, 

thanks a lot for your reply. In your document only it talks about OSPF enhancements, but don't speak about if it's possible to use different protocol. 

Thanks!

Hi @sir_ulrick 

This guide mentions that only OSPFv3 and EIGRP support MANET

Hi

Based on this document, it seems that a choice has been made to enhance OSPFv3 and EIGRP to manage specifics aspects (L3 dependencies on L1/L2 states) described in RFC 4938 (which Cisco authored) :

Thanks for your reply Jerome!, 

but any different protocol can works with Cisco to develop MANET's? only EIGRP or OSPFv3?

Thanks in advance
