RE: [802.21] [DNA] Prefix information for link identification in DNA
Peretz, nobody denies that. The issue here is that what you have been saying doe not allow for deployments that do not use any MIH services at L2. Even if you may not believe these deployments will happen, there are vendors and operators that do believe that their networks will only use MIH services at L3, at least for the initial deployments. Thjerefore our model and definitions must allow for this. In this model, there is no MIH @ L2, and the PoA is in the subnet where the UE gets its IP address.

"I do not understand how any one would conclude that the MIH services are only between UE and the AP/BS."
The discussion is PoA and not services. The 1st PoA could be L2 for IS and CS. With no PoA at L2, the poor UE will have no MIH services until IP is established. The performance will be very different, not to mention a UE with a bridging only attributes, such as 802.16 terminal with only Ethernet CS (no IP CS).
Nobody is saying MIH services are strictly between UE and BS. Performance will be better when PoA L2 MIH is established.

The MIIS is provisioned between MIH in UE to a network counter part any

server or an info server. We also identified MIIS requires L3 and hence
the WG went through the exercise of identifying all the UL requirements
and establish coordination with IETF. However, in that discussion, there
was no reference to whether the AP/BS was MIH or non-MIH capable.
Even if we leave out the info services from the discussion, I do not
understand how any one would conclude that the MIH services are only
between UE and the AP/BS.

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

"you have first to be very clear about what you're attaching"
I would think that in 802.21, we first attach the UE's
MIH to a BS/AP
that supports MIH capability.

To extend (I think!) Stefano's point, before
determining what the PoA
is, you have first to be very clear about what you're
attaching. Just
saying "the terminal" makes no sense, because different layers in the
terminal's protocol stack attach to different places in the network.
For example, the PHY layer attaches to the AP,
but the TCP layer
attaches to the destination host.

Yoshihiro,
I'm not sure why should restrict the
term PoA to have only a
L2 meaning as you suggest below. I
think we should
distinguish clearly between L2 PoA and L3 PoA.
For me, the L3
PoA is where the terminal gets IP conenctivity.
E.g. for GPRS
the L3 PoA is the IP link on which the
GGSN is located. In
L2, PoA is the point where the access-specific
L2 connection
terminates (e.g. an AP in 802.11).
