Re: [802SEC] Request for Assistance from IEEE 802 - Emergency Services Location Identification
Pat -
I would agree. In particular, if location identification is involved, you
are definitely looking at a higher layer function (I can't think of any
good 802 protocol reason to stick GPS in a NIC for example).
