Re: [16NG] [nwg-chair] NWG feedback on 16ng's IPv4 CS draft

["Samita Chakrabarti" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Max,

 

As I understand from NWG feedback that they did not like IETF to recommend
1500 byte MTU size (Appendix section) for future revision of NWG Wimax
specs.  Other than that there are minor editorial changes that we want to do
to polish the draft. 

 

Here is the summary from NWG feedback:

What is your suggestion on updating Appendix C? 

 

Thanks,

Is there really a demand to work on an update of the IPv4-CS I-D?

Which details would require/qualify for an IETF specification?

The current architectural model closely resembles the WiMAX architecture,
and WiMAX provides a comprehensive specification for it.

 

Bye

Max

yes, I've been delinquently holding to the pen.

Lets shoot for end of the month at the latest.

Hi Wes,

Yes, there will be an updated draft before Stockholm. Gabriel was working on
the updates.

I am expecting that we will soon have a revision to review.

Thanks,
