Re: [Mip4] Differences between Low Latency Handovers and FMIPv4

[Henrik Levkowetz <henrik at levkowetz.com>]

Hi Karim,

<hat type="chair">

   I think it would be good if we could look at this proposed workgroup
   item according to its merits, rather than go into its history, where
   there is a bit of controversy which we don't need to repeat here.

   That the low-latency draft is due for publication as experimental does
   not preclude other experimental drafts in the same area if there is
   good motivation for them.  Quite to the contrary, actually - this is a
   way to improve our understanding and move forward as a community.

   When this work has been discussed in the meetings, there has seemed to
   be a good amount of interest in it, which makes it a valid candidate
   for adoption.  So again, let's consider it on its objective merits.

   I'd also like to hear other people's comments on the merits of adopting
   this as a workgroup item, and the level of interest there currently is in
   this.

</hat>

	Henrik
