Re: [ipwave] draft-ietf-ipwave-ipv6-over-80211ocb-00 802.21 for IP handovers

[José Santa Lozano <[e-mail]>]

Dear Alex,

Thanks for considering the comment.

Nevertheless, we also use RA in our solution in order to detect an 802.11p access router. The usage of 802.21 is an additional source of information to speed-up the selection of the most convenient point of attachment or communication flow to use. Due to this, let me propose a text that could be placed at the end of the former version of that paragraph:

"Additionally, IEEE 802.21 can be used to improve the network selection process, since it provides standardized mechanisms to monitor parameters of the local transceiver (e.g. the RSSI sensed from a RSU) and the reception of external information from an infrastructure node about the surrounding networks (e.g. area coverage or monetary cost)"

Just a suggestion.

Jose.
