RE: [802.21] Scope

Title: Message
Can you describe what the problem is in greater detail? The last time I looked at token ring was around 1989. I'm fuzzy on the details.
 
We are already in a situation of effectively ignoring certain media, as in we're not making sure that we accomodate it, so it might not work. A current examples is 802.17. Is 802.5 in the same class? Maybe.

This is a serious question….

 

802.5’s source routing may have special impact on handover.  Is the plan that 802.21 will support handover from Token Ring?

 

The reason I ask this, is that I suspect the answer is “no” – i.e. that we aren’t really talking about a generic handover, but handover between a defined subset of 802 technologies.
