Can someone answer the following questions?
1. What is different between WiMAX WiFi and normal IEEE 802.11? We already have a number of IEEE 802.11 NAS-Port-types allocated and have proposed additional data for this.
2. Why do DHCP and a location service need NAS-Port-Type values?
3. Why should we just allocate a generic WiMAX NAS-Port and let additional data be included in a WiMAX Forum VSA?
