> Peretz, I thought we had decided to get away from the thinking that MIH is "below" L3 and "above" L2, since this is anyway incorrect. I still think we hve both L2 PoAs and L3 PoAs, depending on the specific scenarios. Limiting the PoA to be at L2 is ... well, too limiting. For 802.21 @ L3, the PoA is of course @ L3 snce the very first location where the <MIHF in the UE can send e.g. an IS request is @ or beyond the subnet where the UE gets its own IP address.
