Re: [Dime] DiME ERP: new Application ID or not ? (non-roaming case)

["Hannes Tschofenig" <[e-mail]>]

I also have to add ... 

If you define a new Diameter Application ID then you have to decide which
application to use as a baseline. If you look at Section 5.1 of
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dime-mip6-split-16.txt then
you see that the Mobile IPv6 specific AVPs are optional in the Command Code
ABNF. Hence, building on EAP is probably not such a bad idea. 

There is also the question how much you want to say about Mobile IPv6
bootstrapping in the ERP document.

Ciao
