Hello Lotte,

Did you read my email to Justin about the difference between multicast and unicast?

To summarize:
- multicast is an *order of magnitude* more expensive than unicast, even over a single hop with one neighbor
- multicast is NOT reliable over 802.11 and unicast IS reliable (so RREP is *less likely* to be received).

I don't understand how you could vote for multicast if you read that. Is it just that you don't believe me?

I doubt that Stan read it.

Regards,
Charlie P.

John,

My opinions on the items before us:

1. Unconfirmed routes: Go multicast, as was suggested by Justin Dean.
+1, if that's doable considering the time we have left. Otherwise, I'd also be
okay with Vicky's version, but maybe we could squeeze in a sentence outlining
the consequences of not using rrep_ack?

Concerning the Gateways, I'll trust whatever you all decide, since I don't
think I have the experience it takes to make a useful decision.

Regards,
Lotte

2. Gateways: Leave text in about Gateway router not being default router. I've not
heard, therefore it's not clear, exactly where Justin & Charlie are in their
discussion wrt Gateways. For example, is that the only issue left? Are there
substantial points remaining that might adversely affect a request for last call?

Regards,
Stan

Good morning all

As you all know, draft submission cut off time is 2359 UTC on Monday 6 July
(= 0059 July 7 in UK). Vicky is on holiday next week, and Lotte is fast
approaching (if not already in) exam time, which means we need to go firm
on two topics currently under discussion by the time Vicky starts work at 0900
UK time tomorrow (so that's 0100 Friday for Charlie,
0400 Stan and 1000 Lotte) in order for Vicky to make final substantive
changes. Any remaining scraps can be tidied up on the Monday 6th when
Vicky returns from holiday and we can submit.

I believe Working Group Last Call does not mean we can't make any more
changes. You'll have seen (and some of you have lived) the changes to DLEP
as it went through and following the last call period. We still haven't had a
great deal of feedback from the working group which means they're either
busy, don't have an opinion, or are ok with it, but regardless we still need to
plough on and come to consensus for now.
Details can still be worked on, and indeed I was just discussing with Vicky the
prospect of an author team call while most of us are at Prague.

So the two topics are gateways and routes to neighbours.

I'm not going to direct the outcome, that wouldn't be fair, but I need you all
to come to a position of "good enough for now", to arrive at a document that
we can all defend at Prague, and that position needs to be arrived at by the
time mentioned above. This may mean each of you need to concede on
certain points of detail, perhaps against your better judgement, but it won't
be the last time we can change things.

I'm really pleased with the progress, we have come a long way. Let's work
together to get these last points agreed (for now) and written up.

Thanks and Best Regards
John
