Overall, this seems like a very good short draft specifying a reasonable
compatible improvement to OLSRv2. I did notice a few minor things, as
listed below, although I'm not the familiar with OLSR so I could be wrong
in some cases:

Minor Suggestions:

Could there be a problem if multiple routers join in quick succession,
perhaps due to the healing of a network split, causing a storm of
responsive TCs? Should there be any rate limiting guidance?

Section 6: IANA prefers that a statement that no IANA actions are required
be retained in the document. Suggest removing the parenthetical in the
section.

Appendix A.3, 1st paragraph: suggest "can recognize" -> "has foreknowledge
of". You might also mention scheduled maintenance or scheduled replacement
of a router.

Typos:

Appendix A, title: has a stray double quote at the end which should be
deleted.
Appendix A, 1st paragraph: "as while is expected" -> "as while it is
expected"
Appendix A.2, last sentence: "remore" -> "remote"
Appendix A.3,  6th paragraph, last sentence "meighbor" -> "neighbor"

Thanks,
Donald
