Hi, In some private / public discussions, we struggled with terms related to Autoconf. I think all Autoconf terms shall be defined in autoconf-statement. Some terms specific to MANET only may be defined in autoconf-manetarch. I prefer a clear definition on Border Router. Some suggest there is a difference in Border Router and Internet Gateway. I understand the difference very well, but lacking a defined term for Internet Gateway I use Border Router (BR). I suggest lining up both Autoconf WG drafts, as they are using the same term for both. And verify with the charter, this text use Internet Gateway and not Border Router. On addresses, the Autoconf charter defines very well what is needed: - unique local addresses - globally routable unique addresses The first is called MANET Local Address (MLA) in autoconf-statement, I will use this term in a next version of my personal I-D. For the second one, I introduced MGA, MANET Generated Address. I could update this into MANET Global Address, keeping the MGA abbreviation and using wording in line with MLA. Any other term is OK for me, as long as it is consistently used and well defined. I think Carlos Bernardos (et alia) has published good documents on Autoconf. Lining up terms with these documents doesn't harm. And we should discuss accepting these documents as WG docs in Vancouver, for being published as informational RFC. I suggest chairs prepare a proposal for both draft-bernardos-autoconf-evaluation-considerations and draft-bernardos-autoconf-solution-space. AD approval could be required, I suggest a break-of-silence procedure here. Cheers, Teco
