RE: Non-IP Protocol Support

["H.Cruickshank" <H.Cruickshank@surrey.ac.uk>]

Hi John,

Security support to carry non-IP traffic is useful, but there is no
compelling reason to make this a priority.  So the first step for the
security work progress is to focus on the security requirements to carry
IP traffic.

    I can understand why it is desirable to be able to carry non-IP 
traffic.  But, I would prefer to get a solution for security that 
supports IP over DVB even if it doesn't support non-IP protocols than to

not have a solution.  Is there a compelling reason to include securing 
non-IP traffic in the problem space right now?
