RE: [Seamoby] Minutes for Meeting at IETF 53

Hi Karim:

I am trying to understand the algorithmic perspective of the comment below 
saying that "The MN should take the decision with hints from the network, 
not the other way round."

So, if there is an application on MN processor which takes one input as MN 
requirements and other input as AR capabilities and provides certain output 
(say boolean yes or no), is it acceptable approach? I guess yes.

Now, suppose that there is this *same* application somewhere on processor of 
some network entity taking the *same* inputs as above and providing the same 
kind of output, is it acceptable approach? I guess it should be.

So, is it the input and output information model of the application that 
decides whether the approach in MN-centric or is it the location of the 
processor executing the application as such that decides whether the 
approach is MN-centric? I guess it is the former.
