RE: Cellular host requirements, 01 & next stepsHi Andrew, > Appendix A of the draft, uses text from 3GPP TS > 23.060, Clause 9.2.1.1 without any criticism.
Yes we do reference the current 3GPP specs. We are also quite aware of the criticism of the specs, and we support the process on making the 3GPP specifications better. However, there already is a design team in place in this WG to produce such improvement proposals. Are you aware of this effort? Design team, can you comment on how you are proceeding? But back to our draft. The 3GPP specifications come in "Releases", and the improvements affect only the future releases, not the old ones. Also, appendix A is there for information - to avoid the need to find the 3GPP specs - and to allow us to explain the special case under 2.5.1 and 2.6.1. (We propably should have made clearer that there's a difference to the IPv6 standard way.) The purpose of our draft is primarily to describe what cellular hosts in general need to do wrt IPv6. In addition to this, we want to provide concrete examples on particular cellular networks and their problems, insofar as that information exists today. The example part is more like "here's how your run IPv6 on X" rather than "let's design the best possible Y to run IPv6". However, you are right in the sense that we should propably more clearly highlight the issue in the draft, and indicate that the specific examples that apply to 3GPP are relevant for a particular version (Release 99), and future versions may have a different situation. Hope this clarifies the situation, Jari -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
