Is it really reasonable to progress this I-D towards RFC? Meanwhile
IEEE802.16 as well as WiMAX Forum are moving towards an combined IP-CS,
which is capable to transfer IPv4 packets as well as IPv6 packets over
the same service flows.

IMHO, it would make much more sense to merge the IPv6-CS and the IPv4-CS
specification text into a common IP-CS text.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP over IEEE 802.16 Networks Working
Group of the IETF.


	Title           : Transmission of IPv4 packets over IEEE
802.16's IP Convergence Sublayer
	Author(s)       : S. Madanapalli, et al.
	Filename        :
draft-ietf-16ng-ipv4-over-802-dot-16-ipcs-07.txt

IEEE 802.16 is an air interface specification for wireless broadband
access.  IEEE 802.16 has specified multiple service specific
Convergence Sublayers for transmitting upper layer protocols.  The
packet CS (Packet Convergence Sublayer) is used for the transport of
all packet-based protocols such as Internet Protocol (IP) and IEEE
802.3 (Ethernet).  The IP-specific part of the Packet CS enables the
transport of IPv4 packets directly over the IEEE 802.16 Media Access
Control (MAC).

This document specifies the frame format, the Maximum Transmission
Unit (MTU) and address assignment procedures for transmitting IPv4
packets over the IP-specific part of the Packet Convergence Sublayer
of IEEE 802.16.
