Hi,
I have a question about the definition of "link" in
draft-ietf-seamoby-mobility-terminology-04.txt
It is said:
"A communication facility or physical medium that can sustain data
communications between multiple network nodes, such as an
Ethernet (simple or bridged). A link is the layer immediately
below IP."
As I undestand, the definition of link is not directly related to an
IPv6 link.
For example, consider the following example:
One ethernet link where a router advertises a single IPv6 prefix, and an
802.11b access point connected to this ethernet link as illustrated here:
AR

AP Fixed node

MN1
In this situation, is it right to say that :
- there are 2 links
and
- there is one IPv6 link
?
Thanks
Regards,
Nicolas
