E.g. few if any cellular RFC6204 is not necessarily the best fit for cellular (6204bis does it better) but it definitely does not preclude one making a compliant CE device with a cellular WAN link. > terminals use DHCP as of today, whereas RFC6204 would require them all > to. Also, RFC6204 requires all cellular terminals to use Ethernet So? You would most likely use your cellular just as a modem to connect to network and the rest of the system & stack would be in the host side of the CE. This is sometimes referred as the "split-UE" in 3GPP circles. > encapsulation on their WAN interface whereas none actually does. All WLL-* requirements start with "If the WAN interface supports.." effectively making the following MUST conditional. Those MUSTs, like for ethernet, apply only when the WAN implements the said technology. > There is another RFC - 3316 - "IPv6 for some 2G and 3G Cellular Hosts" > which relates more to cellular.
