RE: [802.21] Scope
Gentlemen,
However, since in my understanding, 802.5 (Token Ring) does support IP,
this should not be a problem, but it does require someone to do the work and
check that it really does fit.
Kind regards
Stephen

Can you describe what the problem is in greater detail? The last time I
looked at token ring was around 1989. I'm fuzzy on the details.
We are already in a situation of effectively ignoring certain media, as
in we're not making sure that we accomodate it, so it might not work. A
current examples is 802.17. Is 802.5 in the same class? Maybe.

This is a serious question....
802.5's source routing may have special impact on handover. Is the plan
that 802.21 will support handover from Token Ring?
The reason I ask this, is that I suspect the answer is "no" - i.e. that
we aren't really talking about a generic handover, but handover between
a defined subset of 802 technologies.
Mike.
