In November 2014 when I asked the IETF upper "brass" and the IEEE liasion to tell IEEE that they need to make multicast and broadcast work on wifi because most L3 protocols rely on it, including IPv4 and IPv6. I don't know what happened after that, I didn't hear anything back. I asked multiple times. This is the first I've heard of your personal concern. I had sent E-mails to Eric Gray and Glenn Parsons at least twice on this topic but didn’t receive a response. Eric seems to be the correct contact: http://www.ietf.org/liaison/managers.html I guess we will need a formal liaison. Thanks, Acee However, the need to have multicast protocols work better did come up when we recently rechartered PIM. That turned into "4) Optimization approaches for IGMP and MLD to adapt to link conditions in wireless and mobile networks and be more robust to packet loss." There is a draft that I noticed was recently published https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mcbride-mboned-wifi-mcast-problem-statement/ I think that the issues need to be clearly articulated to hand work over to IEEE. Regards, I pinged them again just now, replying to the previous "ping" email on this issue from March 2015. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
