[Stefano] Indeed. Let's keep in mind that in this specific discussion we are talking about higher layer requirements. Based on this, we need to consider not only whether the mechanisms in the draft work or not, but also the feasibility to have them supported by the other for a we need to liaise and interwork with. We should strive to define the best solution possible, but at the same time we need to keep in mind that we need to work with other fora. Not doing so would be definitely a waste of time and energies.
Considering this, the shortcoming I'm highlighting is described below in my previous text and new comments.

[Stefano] Perhaps the sentence should be read in his entirety. Sorry for not being clear, let me rephrase it: I was referring to 802.21 @ L3 and having the discovery of MIH functions built into the MIH protocol wrt having the MIH protocol separate from the use of an IP mechanism to discover MIH. I do not believe that from an IETF point of view it makes sense to have the discovery of MIH functions built into the MIH protocol. The reason is that:

[Stefano] I guess there is a study somewhere proving that? It would be good to see the results to support this statement.

[Stefano] Let me try to put it in a different way: for 802.21 @ L3, are we relying on the expertise of IETF in discovery of an IP function (the MIH), or have we defined our own solution? My understanding is that by building the discovery into the protocol we have decided not to rely on the surely larger expertise of IETF in this field. As for existing protocols, I can easily see either DNS or SLP used for the discovery, without any particular modifications by just a smart adoption.
>As a side

[Stefano] that is correct. However, this does not stop IETF from working on the discovery aspects in other WGs. E.g. MIPSHOP could ask another IETF WG to help with the discovery aspects since MIPSHOP has decided to not cover that aspect.

[Stefano] definitely not.

[Stefano] it is not, but that does not mean it cannot be done somewhere else in IETF as needed.

[Stefano] I guess we must agree to disagree. I still believe that for 802.21 @ L3 we should try to reuse existing solutions for the discovery.
