Hello,

AERO (draft-templin-aerolink) has been under internal development for
some time, and is now available for first public release. AERO is based on
DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation, and implements its own simple DHCPv6 client.
We use the kea 0.9.2 server for all of our testing. The source code can be
found here:

http://linkupnetworks.org/aero/aero-3.0.1.tgz
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-templin-aerolink/

This release includes a user-level daemon for use on AERO Clients and
Servers, and a kernel-level driver for use on AERO Relays. Also included are
network emulation models of simple AERO networks for experimentation
using the Common Open Research Emulator (CORE):

The code has been tested primarily on Ubuntu, but can be ported to other
linux-based platforms. Android testing should also be possible.

This release currently demonstrates the following aspects of AERO:

- AERO tunnel virtual NBMA link
- DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (PD)
- IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND)
- BGP routing
- AERO Client to Internet host communications
- AERO Client to AERO Client route optimization
- AERO Client mobility

Guidance can be found in README files and manpages; please feel free to
experiment with the code and send feedback. We will address any issues
and introduce new functionality in follow-on releases in a timely fashion.
