Re: [802.21] Transport protocol issue!

Title:
and it will always attempt L2 (bridging) first and when R1is  not available it will attempt  to transport its PDU by opening a UDP/TCP socket

Kalyan,
Thanks for the clarification. I believe we should strive for transparency of the transport protocol, i.e. the MIHF does not know which one is used.

Hi Stefano,

with #2 I mean, whether the MIHF should know how the transport 
protocol is constructed.

If the answer is yes, then we have some sort of dependency. 
Example, a change in transport protocol (from its standard) 
needs a change in the MIHF, at the minimum from implementation 
point of view.

regards,
Kalyan

Kalyan,
Can you elaborate a bit more on #2?

Hi All,

while going through the present draft, couple of questions
arised where I would like to hear to the experts opinions.

Considering: Communication between 2 MIHF peers using MIHF protocol
            with an arbitrary transport protocol.

1. Should the MIHF know over which transport protocol messages are
  exchanged?

2. Should MIHF be in a position to dissect the transport protocol?
  (if yes, then do we have transport protocol dependency?)

3. Is PPP also a possible transport protocol for MIHF communication?


Regards,
Kalyan
