Re: Re the AR draft...

Thanks John for reading this!

This is the same rev that was put together for Vienna, and for which you
made comments then - that haven't *yet* been incorporated, sorry.

That may be so, but it wasn't what I meant to say. Marie-Jose is the main
author, and I was talking to her slides that ACTUALLY said:

"No new draft presented for this BOF
New inputs to be discussed on list :-)

New version prepared after IETF 58
Architecture concept
Virtual access point definition
Definition of an AR approach for unicast
Dynamic Address Resolution
Multicast AR concepts
Mapping IP to MAC Addresses to PIDs
Multi-level process needed with some dynamic assignment
Use of tables for L2 (and lower) mapping"

I'll post the slides to the server as soon I get ftp access, - I'm not sure
if that would help you formulate your comments. If you have use-cases or
scenarios in which you *COULD* use this protocol, then is valuable.

Getting use-cases correct for the various scenarios is the most important
priority.  Until this is done, I shall probably delay adding my own inputs
to a new rev of the AR draft - so sending now ideas - questions - scenarios
are all good. Pleas do.

The draft needs a lot of work though, and we know this.
