Re: [802SEC] [STDS-802-16] Call for Contributions regarding Potential Bridging Project 802.16k



DJ,

Very good question.

I'm using an Acrobat markup feature. When you put your mouse over the 
strikeout, you should see the proposed replacement text:

"This project amends IEEE 802.1D in order to support bridging of the 
IEEE 802.16 MAC. One subclause is added to Clause 6 to describe the 
service interface mapping between the Internal Sublayer Service and 
the 802.16 MAC service. Minor changes are made elsewhere in the 
document, including priority mapping in Clause 7 and the PICS 
Proforma in Annex A."

This may require Acrobat Reader 7.
