>Introduction
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> This document decribes the transmission of IPv6 packets on IEEE Std
>> 802.11 OCB networks (earlier known as 802.11p).
>> 
>> 
>> [Sri] Please add a reference to the IEEE specification that defines
>> the OCB mode.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> This involves the layering of IPv6 networking o top of the IEEE
>> 802.11 MAC layer (with an LLC layer).  Compared to running IPv6 over
>> the Ethernet MAC layer, there is no modification required to the
>> standards: IPv6 works fine directly over 802.11 OCB too (with an LLC
>> layer.
>> 
>> The term "802.11p" is an earlier definition.  As of year 2012, the
>> behaviour of "802.11p" networks has been rolled in the documen IEEE
>> Std 802.11-2012.  In this document the term 802.11p disappears.
>> Instead, each 802.11p feature is conditioned by a flag in the
>> Management Information Base.  That flag is named "OCBActivated".
>> Whenever OCBActivated s set to true the feature it relates to
>> represents an earlier 802.11p feature.  For example, an802.11
>> STAtion operating outside the context of a basic service set has the
>> OCBActivated flag set.  Such a statio, when it has the flag set, it
>> uses a BSS identifier equal to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.
>> 
>> In the following text we use the term "802.11p" to mean 802.11-2012
>> OCB.
>> 
>> The IPv6 network layer operates on 802.11 OCB in the same manner as
>> it operates on 802.11 WiFi, with a few particular exceptions.  The
>> IPv6 network layer operates on WFi by involving an Ethernet
>> Adaptation Layer; this Ethernet Adaptation Layer maps 802.11 headers
>>to Ethernet II headers.  The operation of IP on Ethernet is
>> described in [RFC1042 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1042>] and
>> [RFC464 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2464>].  The situation of
>> IPv6 networking layer on Ethernet Adaptation Layer is illustrated
>> below:

>> interface.  The packet is captured on the Host, using a network 
>> protocol analyzer (e.g.  Wireshark); the capture is performed in two 
>> different modes: direct mode and 'monitor' mode.  The topology used

>Design Considerations
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> The networks defined by 802.11-OCB are in many ways similar to other 
>> networks of the 802.11 family.  In theory, the encapsulation of IPv6 
>> over 802.11-OCB could be very similar to the operation of IPv6 over 
>> other networks of the 802.11 family.  However, the high mobility, 
>> strong link asymetry and very short connection makes the 802.11-OCB 
>> link significantly different from other 802.11 networks.  Also, the 
>> automotive applications have specific requirements for reliability, 
>> security and privacy, which further add to the particularity of the 
>> 802.11-OCB link.

>>
>> 
>Vehicle ID
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Automotive networks require the unique representation of each of 
>> their node.  Accordingly, a vehicle must be identified by at least 
>> one unique identifier.  The current specification at ETSI and at
>> IEEE 1609 identifies a vehicle by its MAC address uniquely obtained
>> from the 802.11-OCB NIC.
>> 
>> A MAC address uniquely obtained from a IEEE 802.11-OCB NIC 
>> implicitely generates multiple vehicle IDs in case of multiple 
>> 802.11-OCB NICs.  A mechanims to uniquely identify a vehicle 
>> irrespectively to the different NICs and/or technologies is
>> required.

>> 
>Reliability Requirements
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> The dynamically changing topology, short connectivity, mobile 
>> transmitter and receivers, different antenna heights, and many-to- 
>> many communication types, make IEEE 802.11-OCB links significantly 
>> different from other IEEE 802.11 links.  Any IPv6 mechanism
>> operating on IEEE 802.11-OCB link MUST support strong link asymetry,
>> spatio- temporal link quality, fast address resolution and
>> transmission.
>> 
>> IEEE 802.11-OCB strongly differs from other 802.11 systems to
>> operate outside of the context of a Basic Service Set.  This means
>> in practice that IEEE 802.11-OCB does not rely on a Base Station for
>> all Basic Service Set management.  In particular, IEEE 802.11-OCB
>> SHALL NOT use beacons.  Any IPv6 mechanism requiring L2 services from
>> IEEE 802.11 beacons MUST support an alternative service.

>Multiple interfaces
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> There are considerations for 2 or more IEEE 802.11-OCB interface 
>> cards per vehicle.  For each vehicle taking part in road traffic,
>> one IEEE 802.11-OCB interface card could be fully allocated for Non
>> IP safety-critical communication.  Any other IEEE 802.11-OCB may be
>> used for other type of traffic.
>> 
>> The mode of operation of these other wireless interfaces is not 
>> clearly defined yet.  One possibility is to consider each card as an 
>> independent network interface, with a specific MAC Address and a set 
>> of IPv6 addresses.  Another possibility is to consider the set of 
>> these wireless interfaces as a single network interface (not 
>> including the IEEE 802.11-OCB interface used by Non IP safety 
>> critical communications).  This will require specific logic to 
>> ensure, for example, that packets meant for a vehicle in front are 
>> actually sent by the radio in the front, or that multiple copies of 
>> the same packet received by multiple interfaces are treated as a 
>> single packet.  Treating each wireless interface as a separate 
>> network interface pushes such issues to the application layer.
>> 
>> The privacy requirements of [] imply that if these multiple 
>> interfaces are represented by many network interface, a single 
>> renumbering event SHALL cause renumbering of all these interfaces. If
>> one MAC changed and another stayed constant, external observers would
>> be able to correlate old and new values, and the privacy benefits of
>> randomization would be lost.

>MAC Address Generation
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> When designing the IPv6 over 802.11-OCB address mapping, we will 
>> assume that the MAC Addresses will change during well defined 
>> "renumbering events".  The 48 bits randomized MAC addresses will
>> have the following characteristics:
>> 
>> o  Bit "Local/Global" set to "locally admninistered".
>> 
>> o  Bit "Unicast/Multicast" set to "Unicast".
>> 
>> o  46 remaining bits set to a random value, using a random number 
>> generator that meets the requirements of [RFC4086
>> <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4086>].
>> 
>> The way to meet the randomization requirements is to retain 46 bits 
>> from the output of a strong hash function, such as SHA256, taking as 
>> input a 256 bit local secret, the "nominal" MAC Address of the 
>> interface, and a representation of the date and time of the 
>> renumbering event.
