The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Mobility Services Transport: Problem Statement ' <draft-ietf-mipshop-mis-ps-05.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the Mobility for IP: Performance, Signaling and Handoff Optimization Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jari Arkko and Mark Townsley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mipshop-mis-ps-05.txt Technical Summary The document provides a problem statement for the exchange of information to support handover in heterogeneous link environments. This mobility support service allows more sophisticated handover operations by making available information about network characteristics, neighboring networks and associated characteristics, indications that a handover should take place, and suggestions for suitable target networks to which to handover. The mobility support services work complementarily with IP mobility mechanisms to enhance the overall performance and usability perception. Working Group Summary This is a product of the MIPSHOP WG. Protocol Quality The draft has been reviewed by numerous folks, including folks who are proficient in transport and mobility. This document went through a WG last call in the MIPSHOP WG. The document captures the issues to be addressed in the MIPSHOP WG work for implementing a transport for the IEEE 802.21 services. As such, the document has also been reviewed by the IEEE 802.21 liaison and many of their members. Jari Arkko has reviewed this specification for the IESG. Gorry Fairhurst provided a transport review. Note to RFC Editor Remove annex and adding the following sentence in Section 1: Requirements to support 802.21 by L3 and above transport are described in [1] (work in progress). Please change in Section 5.2: OLD: A common security association negotiation method, independent of any specific MSTP user, should be implemented. NEW: A common security association negotiation method, independent of any specific MSTP user, should be implemented between the endpoints of the MSTP. Please correct the following: On page 8: /other standards bodies other than the IETF/ ^^^^^ - remove "other" On page 11 /arrive at a rate of hundreds of milliseconds/ - It should be "at an interval of hundreds of milliseconds". On page 11 / to around 65000 bytes/ ^^^^^^ - Should be: to be normally less than 64KB, but may be greater than 64 KB On page 15 /TR2.The transport protocol shall be capable to support both IPv4 and IPv6 versions/ /TR2.The transport protocol shall be able to operate over both the IPv4 and IPv6 network layer/ _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
