Technical Summary
The Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP) assumes that every
modem in the radio network has an attached DLEP router, and
requires that the MAC address of the DLEP interface on the
attached router be used to identify the destination in the network.
This document describes a DLEP Extension allowing modems that do not
meet the strict requirement above to use DLEP to describe link
availability and quality to one or more destinations reachable beyond
a device on the Layer 2 domain.
Working Group Summary
