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

This email completes the period of WG Call to Adopt the I-D below.

11 Responses were received during this call (1 direct to the chair).

All these responses moved to adopt the document as a WG Draft.

The present authors are therefore asked to update the Internet Draft
to account for comments received and a new revised draft is expected to be 
issued by 1-June-12005. The new draft will named draft-ietf-ipdvb-ar-00.txt.

The new I-D will be a WG draft, intended for publication as an RFC (under the 
current 3rd item in the ipdvb Charter). **ALL** inputs to help improve the 
document are therfore very welcome - including what extra should be added, 
what should be reworked, corrected, etc.

Thanks for taking the time to read this document,

 Best wishes,

     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.
