Hi, All:

Jakko may be right, but who knows. We may or may not define "intra-network" as additional term in our standard.

I just took Paul's suggestion of "intra-network" something like - "a user remains within a given network while roaming can be termed as intra-network roaming."

For example, a wireless LAN may have many point of attachments while the mobile user may move from one point of attachment to another of a given LAN, but it is still the same network. In this situation, the mobility of the user can be termed as the "intra-network" roaming.

Of course, there will be intra-domain, inter-domain roaming.

Similarly, there can be intra-zone and inter-zone roaming.

In the same token, there can be intra-network and inter-network roaming.

Contributions are there or underway to address all those issues.

Best regards, Radhika R. Roy AT&T

Hi Paul & all,

Paul, thanks for the clarification. I just have one point: If intra network in fact means intra-domain, then maybe we should call it intra-domain, not intra-network. This is just to avoid any unnecessary new definitions.
