RE: contributions for upcoming May 2004 meeting - L2.5 Concrete Model ?
Daniel,
Can you comment on the application under consideration and the usage
scenario when transitioning between wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi. It would
be interesting to see if "make before break" is required in such a case
or if "break before make" can give the same user experience. Local L2
triggering can help in this case, but it may be more of a local client
side implementation issue.
We plan to have an update on our triggers proposal for the May meeting,
which should help out with some of this.
Best Regards

Subject: contributions for upcoming May 2004 meeting - L2.5 Concrete
Model ?
Hi 802.21 folks
Aside from the ARID, I am opening another issue
on the L 2.5 (not sure it is a general term. but I
just heard it from the DJ when attending the
previous .21 meeting).
Before mentioning that, I am saying one reference
which is a handover between 802.3 (called Ethernet)
and 802.11. This scenario is may included in the
.21 technical requirement document and will be
presented in coming .21 meeting on May.
We (Samsung electronics) are developing this
solution in our several device such as laptop,
hand-help PC and PDA, and it will be done soon
(maybe until the next month). Of course it is not
lab scale. I mean it is a real commercial product.
Above all, for this solution, I have to consider
both L2 and L3 at the same time and almost
functions are being implemented above L2 (e.g.,
extended device driver with L2 triggering). Thus
I'd like to call that as L2.5 but I don't have any
concrete definition and function (reference) model
now. If I can get L2.5, it would be very useful.
I am wondering how we can clarify the definition
of L2.5 and it is a inside scope of the .21 WG ?
Or is anyone defining the reference model or
related work about L 2.5 ?
If yes, I would see it in this meeting.
I believe it will be a valuable model for doing
a media independent handover among several
L2 techniques.
Thanks in advance.
