RE: [MIP-QOS] MIP QoS requirements

["ext Phil Roberts" <PRoberts@MEGISTO.com>]

Hi,

I'd like to interject a few discussion items into what seems to be a most
productive dialog.

It's probably worthwhile thinking about which requirements we're discussing
are MIP specific.  The AAA requirements draft has items which are not MIP
specific, but not a lot.  This work should stay focused on requirements
which are closely coupled to MIP and its network model.

Would you consider keeping the discussion of location privacy separate from
this for now?  We're not very sure what to do about it in general for MIP.

Wireless is obviously an area in which this will be used, but MIP has
managed to avoid being coupled too much to wireless so far and perhaps it
would be worthwhile decoupling this as much as possible.  Perhaps there will
be a separate effort on QoS characteristics of particular links.

I haven't seen any mention of the presence of a foreign agent.  Does the
presence of lack of a foreign agent impact the requirements at all?  What
about regional registration?

From a requirements point of view can we really say anything more about
interactions with other protocol sets (such as diffserv, intserv) than allow
this kind of protocol in the paths between the mobile and the mobility
agent(s) or correspondents?  And is saying even that too much?  (I know this
is hard not knowing what the scope of the new working group will be).

Can we couch the discussion of fast recovery requirements in terms of the
failure of an FA/HA?  Otherwise it seems not to be too connected to MIP.
