Scope
The present document concerns the address management functions that are required to support interworking of a BSM network with an IP network@ including use as part of the general Internet@ in particular the address management functions related to the BSM SI-SAP. The SI-SAP is described in the BSM functional architecture [1] and defined in the SI-SAP specification [3]. A key element in the present document is the BSM_Identifier (BSM_ID) which is the SI-SAP address that identifies a BSM subnetwork point of attachment (SNPA). A BSM network uses the BSM_ID when sending and receiving data via the SI-SAP: the BSM_ID is an abstraction of the lower layer address that would otherwise be used. The present document describes the relationships between IP Addresses and BSM_IDs and also describes how to create@ manage@ and query the BSM_IDs for the purpose of sending and receiving user data (in particular IP packets) via the SI-SAP. NOTE 1: In some systems@ requesting to pass traffic across the network also causes reservation of bandwidth. This is to be considered out of scope of the present recommendation@ but assumptions that a notification (e.g.@ bandwidth allocation) will be sent by a QoS Manager will be made. The present document divides into two parts: ? address management scenarios and architectures; ? unicast address resolution at the SI-SAP. Lower layer address management (i.e. management of addresses below the SI-SAP) is beyond the scope of the present document. NOTE 2: Examples of lower layer addresses that are out-of-scope include Data Link layer addresses@ MAC layer addresses and Physical layer addresses. The present document elaborates the details of the address management functions@ notably the address resolution function@ as defined in the SI-SAP specification ETSI TS 102 357 [3]. It also builds on several other reports: ? ETSI TR 101 984 [i.1]; ? ETSI TR 101 985 [i.2]; ? ETSI TR 102 155 [i.7].
