RE: 802.21 Teleconference: L2 Requirements for 802.11
Daniel,
We can explicitly include this requirement.
However implicitly this does seem to be already included as we are
already including subnet change indications as hints with some of our
trigger messages. That may or may not be enough though, so we can
include this explicitly and also discuss about other prospective
solutions and include them in list of suggested amendments.
Best Regards,
-Vivek

Vivek, thanks your good initiative and here is my suggested amendment.
802.11u decided its in-scope requirements during last meeting and one
requirement was away from them.
==========================
From 11-05-0279-15-000u
- Reference: REQ d15M2
- Requirement:
Define functionality by which APs can provide information which will
enable
a STA to determine whether or not roaming to a candidate AP would
require
re-configuration (automatic or manual) of layer 3 networking.
- Notes (informative):
This could be achieved by the APs advertising either information about
the
L3 routers accessible through them (ARID) or by identifying the ESS to
which
the AP is connected. However other solutions are not precluded.Note: It
is
recognized that the suggested requirement class is extremely
controversial,
and it is expected that the motion to accept this requirement will be
subject to a motion to amend.
- Requirement Class: Out of scope-To be forwarded to .21 and 11r
==========================
I am opening this requirement to be included into the 802.21 spec.
All comment is highly welcome.
