Hi IPWAVErs -

We have just published a draft documenting how IPv4 is encoded over 802.11OCB.  You can find it here:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-li-ipv4-over-80211ocb-00

We are fully aware that the WG is focused on IPv6 and that in Seoul there was consensus to remove IPv4 from draft-petrescu-ipv6-over-80211p.  I believe that at the last meeting the decision was to use an individual submission for IPv4 and that WG/chairs would determine how best to coordinate with this.

I speak for the other authors and collaborators of this draft when I say that we’re all strongly in favor of an IPv6 focus for the WG.  It seems we may have a subtle disagreement on the need to simply document how IPv4 is to be encoded, especially in light of how consistent the alignment is with IPv6.  Obviously, our preference would be for the work (IPv4 over 802.11OCB) to be done officially by the WG since it seems an almost trivial exercise and with minimal overhead.  That said, we’re not here to trump WG consensus, so at this point we are making the WG aware of the existence of this draft and looking for any reviews and comments to improve the document.  Additionally, we’d greatly appreciate any coordination assistance and guidance on how best (and most efficiently) to get this individual submission progressed.

Thanks,

Gonzalo
