We had long discussion on that before..:-) Yes, IPv6CS (RFC5121) comes from 16ng WG. And EthernetCS is too. Prebably, the consensus you mentioned above means which CS is a mandatory or optional for IPv6 implementation or both. Well, 16ng WG just leaves them to the business choice in WiMAX networks since that is beyond scope of 16ng. As of today, obviously mobile biz wants to implement IPv6CS only, and wired biz (looks like DSL) wants to implemt EthernetCS. But, no one knows what happens tomorrow in WiMAX networks. Daniel
