draft-fair-ipdvb-ar-04.txt

As WG chair, I request the ipdvb list to consider whether the WG is
ready to support adoption of the following individual Internet Draft
(ID) as a WG ID. By adopting an individual ID as a working group ID,
this WG indicates that it intends to be develop this into an RFC,
according to the WG charter.

WG documents should no longer be regarded as the property of the
individuals who originally authored them - the working group as a
whole must decide how they are shaped, and to see the document to a
successful conclusion. If adopted, the Internet Draft will be renamed
to start with the filename draft-ietf-ipdvb..., and will be listed on
the IETF web page for this WG.

         Title           : Address Resolution for IP datagrams over
                           MPEG-2 networks
         Author(s)       : G. Fairhurst, et al.
         Filename        : draft-fair-ipdvb-ar-04.txt
         Pages           : 17
         Date            : 2005-4-12

    This document describes the process of binding/associating IPv4/IPv6
    addresses with MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS). This procedure is
    known as Address Resolution (AR), or Neighbour Discovery (ND). Such
    address resolution complements the higher layer resource discovery
    tools that are used to advertise IP sessions. In MPEG-2 networks, an
    IP address must be associated with a Packet ID (PID) and a specific
    Transmission Multiplex The document reviews current methods. It also
    describes the interaction with well-known protocols for address
    management including DHCP, ARP, and NDP, and provides guidance on
    usage.

You are encouraged to send email to this WG, to help make the decision
for adoption.  Possible recommendations are:

       1) Support for adoption as a working group draft under our
Charter -
       i.e. Recommend this Internet Draft SHOULD be used as the basis
for
       developing an RFC by the ipdvb WG.

       2) Request for non-adoption
       i.e. That there is (or could be) alternative approaches to
       the problem, and that the current draft is not sufficiently
       developed / or correctly designed ipdvb WG

       3) Out of scope
       i.e. you believe the document to be beyond the scope of the
       approved ipdvb WG charter.

Emails on this topic should be sent to the ipdvb mailing list before
6th May 2005.

Note that an ID does not need to be complete to be adopted. It would
also be most useful to collect as many comments/criticisms as possible
from those reading this ID.  Looking through the archived mailing
list, a first list of issues to be addressed is included at the end of
this email.

Please do help to identify any more known (or potential) issues that
should be addressed/discussed.

Best wishes,

Gorry Fairhurst
(ipdvb WG Chair)
