RE: [802.21] [DNA] Prefix information for link identification in DNA



If the question is whether one can access IS @L3 and above when using non-MIH enabled L2 connectivity, the answer is definitely yes. Thta's one of the main reasons why we're introducing 802.21 @L3, so that you do not need to wait e.g. for all APs to be modified before you can deploy 802.21.

Are you indicating attaching to a non MIH enabled AP/BS and receiving
MIH IS over R4 from a remote MIH info server?
