Are you seeking to ask the DSLF to design the protocol or answer on behalf of Microsoft? Seriously, I believe that the DSLF has come to the IETF seeking progress on a solution that conceptually "fits the bill" (ie the requirements) from the SDO perceived as owning the (DHCP) protocol definition. It would be rather disingenious for the IETF to seek from the DSLF answers on how OS specific implementations should be carried out, or specifics on how protocol should be designed. Further note: In the DSLF the target devices for incorporating a subscriber authentication mechanism ones that are provided by the SP (eg video STB's, DSL Routers), and here the stacks are much more controllable. PC End hosts, while not not being totally ruled out, are of secondary importance. That said, AFAIK how a DHCP based solution will be implemented is still TBD, and so saying that it will require a full change of stack is premature. -Woj. > > Iljitsch > _______________________________________________ Int-area mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/int-area
