ip-dvb: Progress Report 15th November 2002

[Dr G Fairhurst <gorry@erg.abdn.ac.uk>]

IP-DVB Mailing List


REQUIREMENTS: draft-fair-ipdvb-req-02.tx
This draft was updated with corrections received from the list,
a minort mistake in the "expires" line  makes it look like the draft
expired before it was written (sorry).

I intend to take more input on the subject of address resolution
from people at the IETF meeting in Atlanta next week. All contributions
are welcome via the list or email and we can talk face-to-face!


ENCAPSULATION draft-unisal-ipdvb-enc-00.txt (Expired)
This document is now with the authors for edit.

There are outstanding issues on:
	MAC address format - is this an extension header 
	or an optional part of the basic header?

	Use of the AFC bits in the MPEG-2 TS Packet header.

ADDRESS RESOLUTION
There is still a need for an ID from the ip-dvb
activity to clarify how address resolution could work.


IETF STATUS
This work has not yet been brought before the IETF at A BoF
and IETF-55 does NOT include a BoF on this subject.

Presentations or contributions to a future BoF will be welcomed by
the list, at least two months before the next IETF
(Spring 2003 - 56th IETF March 16-21, 2003 San Francisco).

http://www.ietf.org/meetings/0mtg-sites.txt

Gorry Fairhurst will be at the Atlanta IETF, and will be organising
an informal discussion in the Bar (date, venue to be confirmed on the
IETF notices board near registration desk). Input requested on
user need, address resolution options, and need to build an address
resolution protocol suited to IP 

- suggestions of timing of this are welcome via email to: 
gorry@erg.abdn.ac.uk.


Best wishes,

Gorry Fairhurst
