Re: Routing in emerging LEO satellite networks

Hi Zegi,

I agree with Henning it is not similar to ad hoc network or not well
defined by 3GPP, however, we need in this WG to first define new use cases
of LEO that is ad hoc, and that is why my presentation was proposing update
to RFC2501, which I am working on informational draft for this WG and hope
to get others to join with me to author.

Best Regards
AB
