A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5692 Title: Transmission of IP over Ethernet over IEEE 802.16 Networks Author: H. Jeon, S. Jeong, M. Riegel Status: Standards Track Date: October 2009 Mailbox: hongseok.jeon@gmail.com, sjjeong@etri.re.kr, maximilian.riegel@nsn.com Pages: 21 Characters: 44724 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-16ng-ip-over-ethernet-over-802-dot-16-12.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5692.txt This document describes the transmission of IPv4 over Ethernet, as well as IPv6 over Ethernet, in an access network deploying the IEEE 802.16 cellular radio transmission technology. The Ethernet on top of IEEE 802.16 is realized by bridging connections that IEEE 802.16 provides between a base station and its associated subscriber stations. Due to the resource constraints of radio transmission systems and the limitations of the IEEE 802.16 Media Access Control (MAC) functionality for the realization of an Ethernet, the transmission of IP over Ethernet over IEEE 802.16 may considerably benefit by adding IP-specific support functions in the Ethernet over IEEE 802.16 while maintaining full compatibility with standard IP over Ethernet behavior. [STANDARDS TRACK] This document is a product of the IP over IEEE 802.16 Networks Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
