Re: [ipwave] MAC Address minor textual issue

[Jérôme Härri <[e-mail]>]

Dear Russ, Dear Alex,

 

Indeed, and so does ETSI ITS. So, we can keep what is there, and maybe add
something like: 

 

(…)While the 802.11-OCB standard does not specify anything particular with
respect to MAC addresses, higher layer stack architecture, such as IEEE 1609
and ETSI ITS does impose MAC requirements. Accordingly, similar requirements
might be expected or required when operating IPv6 over 802.11-OCB without
these architectures (…) 

 

Do we need to  define what we mean by ‘MAC requirements’? 

 

Best Regards,

 

Jérôme

It has been suggested that there is something to think about here, which
may affect the above statement: there is at least one country where the
vehicle|driver information, be it physical or electronic, must be
allowed access by law enforcement if so required.

This is noted.  I suggest we discuss this separately.

At this time I do not modify this text.

End issue.

 

IEEE 1609 does impose MAC address requirements.  Is this the right place to
call that out?
