[manet] Re: MANET WG Charter and MANET Internetworking

RFC2501 is still the primary reference for IETF MANET.

The inspiration for IETF MANET came from 1990s-era programs including US DoD Task Force XXI (google: "DoD Task Force XXI") and DARPA GloMo (google: "DARPA GloMo") which determined that standard OSPF was unsuitable for operation in dynamic tactical networks.
