Triggers and Hints…
• Event notifications from the link-layer will
trigger the DNA algorithm:
– Link up:
• PDP context activated on GPRS
• PPP established on cdma2000
• (re)association or secure association on IEEE 802.11
Triggers and Hints…
• Hints may be optionally provided along the
triggers, which may help optimize the DNA
process
– The IP address is provided during PDP context
activation on GPRS
– Same with the PPP on cdma2000
– IEEE 802.11… not straight forward
Hints in IEEE 802.11
• No L3 configuration in L2
• Need for an identifier to associate links with
networks (configurations)
– BSSID (L2 address of AP)?
• No one-to-one mapping to a network
– SSID (service set identifier)?
• Same SSID might be used across a routed network.
• SSID does not mean much when the network is selected during
the authentication phase (dynamic VLAN assignment)
• Any useful hints for DNA without modifying
IEEE 802.11?
