[ipwave] draft-ietf-ipwave-ipv6-over-80211ocb-02.txt

[Alexandre Petrescu <[e-mail]>]

Hi participants in IPWAVE WG,

This new version of the draft addresses comments received recently from 
Michelle Wetterwald and Dick Roy.

Please use this draft for further discussion.

This is the draft that will be discussed in Chicago.

The changelog is:
o Replaced almost all occurences of 802.11p with 802.11-OCB, leaving
   only when explanation of evolution was necessary.
o Shortened by removing parameter details from a paragraph in the
   Introduction.
o Moved a reference from Normative to Informative.
o Added text in intro clarifying there is no handover spec at IEEE,
   and that 1609.2 does provide security services.
o Named the contents the fields of the EthernetII header (including
   the Ethertype bitstring).
o Improved relationship between two paragraphs describing the
   increase of the Sequence Number in 802.11 header upon IP
   fragmentation.
o Added brief clarification of "tracking".

> Abstract:
>    In order to transmit IPv6 packets on IEEE 802.11 networks run outside
>    the context of a basic service set (OCB, earlier "802.11p") there is
>    a need to define a few parameters such as the recommended Maximum
>    Transmission Unit size, the header format preceding the IPv6 header,
>    the Type value within it, and others.  This document describes these
>    parameters for IPv6 and IEEE 802.11 OCB networks; it portrays the
>    layering of IPv6 on 802.11 OCB similarly to other known 802.11 and
>    Ethernet layers - by using an Ethernet Adaptation Layer.
>
>    In addition, the document attempts to list what is different in
>    802.11 OCB (802.11p) compared to more 'traditional' 802.11a/b/g/n
>    layers, layers over which IPv6 protocols operates without issues.
>    Most notably, the operation outside the context of a BSS (OCB) has
>    impact on IPv6 handover behaviour and on IPv6 security.
>
>    An example of an IPv6 packet captured while transmitted over an IEEE
>    802.11 OCB link (802.11p) is given.
