Re: [mif] MIF API - Access Network Selection

[<[e-mail]>]

Hi,

Sorry for jumping into the discussion but, actually, this is a very interesting point.

Couple of IETF ago, we discussed the interest for a "connection manager" item in MIF. Actually, Ted gives a good summary of the consensus in MIF. Full specification of a Connection manager is out of the IETF scope,  but it is expected from the MIF API to provide information and functionalities that a connection manager may need. On the other hand,  I think that ongoing work in MIF ( implementation guideline or specification of the high-level API) may provide guidance on how a connection manager should use the MIF API .

Where is connection manager specified? a Mif document?


I think that the MIF API sets a baseline for what the connection manager has to be able to do.   I think that a single connection manager spec from the MIF working group would be presumptuous, because the precise functioning of the connection manager is really something that's core to the business of a lot of customers of the MIF API.   So as long as the connection manager implementation supports the functionality required by the MIF API, I don't think we should try to go any further than that.
