[16NG] RE: review of draft-ietf-16ng-ip-over-ethernet-over-802.16-00

Hello Max

         Thanks. From your explain, you mentioned two method can be used to
know about the IP addresses: 

1) Intercepting the DHCP message exchange;   

2)Just looking at the source IP addresses of upstream packets.

         To the method 1) , it will need DHCP stack to do that. 

As to the method 2) ,if that means we have to monitor the source IP address
of every packets. Otherwise , we can make sure when the MS/SS change it’s
address. 

Right?

Best Rgds,

Thanks,

Hi John.zhao,

ProxyARP must know about the IP addresses being used by the SS/MSs. The
information can be retrieved by intercepting the DHCP message exchange or
just looking at the source IP addresses of upstream packets.

With this information Proxy ARP can respond to ARP messages instead of
broadcasting the message to all the SS/MSs.

Bye

Max

Hi Max,

         In section 7.3, there is a sentence that ‘The unicast IPv4
addresses can be learned by examining the source address of packets or DHCP
Response message.’ But why this operation is needed? And if we will need
the layer-3 operation in this place?

         Best Rgds,

Thanks,
