Issue #6 Which operator should we expose in IEs? (doc: 21-06-0667-00-0000_Comment Assignments)
Hello,
During the teleconference, there was a discussion about the issue #6,
"Which operator should we expose in IEs?".
As I mentioned in the call, here is a terminology definition from the
IETF MIP6 Bootstrapping work,
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mip6-bootstrapping-spli
t-02.txt.
I hope this would clarify the terminology of the used _operator_ and
makes a progress.
ASA
Access Service Authorizer. A network operator that
authenticates a mobile node and establishes the mobile
node's
authorization to receive Internet service.
ASP
Access Service Provider. A network operator that provides
direct IP packet forwarding to and from the end host.
MSA
Mobility Service Authorizer. A service provider that
authorizes Mobile IPv6 service.
MSP
Mobility Service Provider. A service provider that
provides
Mobile IPv6 service. In order to obtain such service, the
mobile node must be authenticated and prove authorization
to
obtain the service.
Ajay,
Could I grasp the usefulness of exposing the core network operator's
IEs?
