Re: [Mipshop] DHCP



Title: Re: [Mipshop] DHCP
I discussed this with Juan Carlos. The solution they are proposing is not even L3, it is L4.

Alper,

it really sounded like ES and CS @ L2 are “the” solution so there is no need for ES and CS at L3, that’s why I reacted. If we agree on the need for ES and CS @ L3, then I am fine, and I would avoid further references to what is being done or not @ L2, since we’re here to work on the L3 solution. Whether the same protocol needs to provide all three service or not is another question, and I would not discuss its merit at this point (that’s more of DT decision than a chair suggestion).

Stefano,

 

I’m not denying the need for a L3 ES and CS transport.

I’m saying L2 ES and CS transport is also one of the accepted scenarios.

 

Are we not on the same page?

Indeed. However, I need to add something. Alper, can you help me understand in which forum or framework or circle it is an accepted scenario that ES and CS are taken care at L2? That may be true for some (few) access technologies, but cannot be generalized, therefore there is the need for a L3 solution. As a matter of fact, there is plenty of discussion going on on why it is useful to have it @ L3 for many technologies, in particular to have a technology independent solution for multi-mode terminals and networks.

 

If we want to talk about L2 solution, there are technologies (e.g. 802.11) that have solutions @ L2.

Hi Alper,

I would suggest to wait for tomorrow's DT presentation.
