Dear Colleagues,

RFC 8278 has a major error.

The MAG is a ground element that is connected with the LMA typically by fixed networks (fiber optics or terrestrial microwave networks, but not LTE or WAN).
The end system flows are not connected to the MAG directly, since the MAG is on the ground, fixed and not moving, but rather to the mobile router (MR).
Then the MR and the MAG is connected by wireless networks such as LTE or WLAN.

The authors has mixed up the MR and MAG roles, and put the MAG unto the moving platform that is incorrect.
This whole standard is basically broken and it should be withdrawn and replaced by a correct standard.


Best regards,
Bela
