I am forwardig these comments originally from Sangeun Kim at KT to 16ng list.

[SC>] Thanks.
========================================

6.  Subnet Model and IPv4 Address Assignment

The Subnet Model recommended for IPv4 over IEEE 802.16 using IP CS is
based on point-to-point link between MS and AR, hence each MS will be
on different IP subnet.

Proposed Changes: The Subnet Model recommended for IPv4 over IEEE
802.16 using IP CS is based on point-to-point link between MS and AR.

[SC>] Fine by me.

7.  Address Resolution Protocol

The IEEE 802.16 frame header does not contain the source and
destination MAC addresses, instead it uses the Connection Identifier
(CID) for the delivery of MAC frames.  This makes classical Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) [3] trivial and unnecessary. > Also, IEEE
802.16 IPCS cannot classify the ARP packets as ARP runs directly over
 Ethernet and does not contain IP header.  Thus ARP packets are not
transmitted over IEEE 802.16 air interface when using IPCS.

IEEE 802.16 IPCS cannot classify the ARP packets as ARP runs directly

  transmitted over IEEE 802.16 air interface when using IPCS. However
MS requires to proxy ARP function compatible with legacy IP host.

[SC>] Let's discuss the last sentence. MS requires to proxy ARP function compatible with legacy IP host: What is the expected configuration of the scenario in this case? The legacy IP host will not be on the same Wimax IPCS
link; thus our assumption was that they would be on different subnets.
Please clarify.
