New Working Group Document of the DNA Working Group
Hello Folks,
It is now a month as document draft-yegin-dna-l2-hints-02.txt has been
accepted as a working group item and document of the DNA Working Group.
Its name has therefore changed to draft-ietf-dna-link-information-00.txt
This document attempts to capture the information that are available
from various link layers technologies (802.11, 3GPP, 3GPP2...) and that
can assist the layer 3 of a mobile node in the process of detecting
attachment to an IPv6 network.
Obviously the work done within .21 will benefit the progress of this
document as .21 is intending to provide the mechanisms that would assist
the layer 3 in optimising such a detection by the knowledge of wireless
link information.
We would be glad if 21 people could take a look at that document and
bring up issues they may identify. Please do so within the dna mailing
list. This mail was informational only!
Best regards
Eric njedjou

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Detecting Network
Attachment Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Link-layer Event Notifications for Detecting
Network Attachments
Author(s) : A. Yegin, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-dna-link-information-00.txt
Pages : 17
Date : 2004-9-24
Certain network access technologies are capable of providing various
link-layer status information to IP. Link-layer event notifications can
help IP expeditiously detect configuration changes. This draft provides
a non-exhaustive catalogue of information available from well-known
access technologies.
