TBD
for WIMAX-HA-LMA: WiMAX HA and or LMA function.
For
example, this one above is for defining the interface between the Mobile IP HA
and the AAA server for AAAing Mobile IP service. With that explanation, does it
still not qualify for a NAS-port-type?

NAS-Port-Type value request
Hello,
At this time we find ourselves with a mixed result
between the in room sentiment at IETF 80 (which was negative to allocation) and
the subsequent consensus poll (which was neutral/positive to
allocation). As such, a final consensus poll is warranted to
establish rough consensus in either direction.
Please respond to this email by May 24, 2011 with either
a ‘yes’ (indicating allocation should occur) or a
‘no’ (indicating allocation should be denied). Please respond
regardless of whether you commented at IETF 80 or to the below consensus
poll.
In summary: against allocation.
In detail: My reservations against doing the WiFi Interworking are the same as
in the meeting (i.e. why is "WiMAX Wifi" different from normal WiFi,
which has a NAS-Port-Type already), but I don't care too much.
For the other types, my feeling is much stronger against allocation. As per
Avi's mail, there are
- voice service
- DHCP service
- location based service
The word "service" in these is a brightly blinking indicator that
this is not about a port type, but a service type. So allocating a
NAS-*Port*-Type here just doesn't seem to fit semantically.
There is also "WiMAX Pre-Release 8 ..." stuff. This would at best be
a temporary thing; when Release 8 is out, this NAS-Port-Type would just be a
burnt integer. I don't think that's right.
Leave alone that there are values which are a "function" - what would
that have to do with NAS-Port-Type?
Given that all these values are to be registered as a block, and the majority
of the proposed values have a big question mark for me, I can't help but say
No.
Greetings,
Stefan Winter
