Dear Q21/16 colleagues

As you may know, G.hnta of SG15 "Generic Home Network Architecture for the Transport Stratum" and H.ghna of SG16 "A Generic Home Network Architecture with support for multimedia services" are companion recommendations each other. The former handles Transport layer, while the latter handles the Application layer.

As editor of G.hnta, I want to make one basic comment on H.ghna. I find that the current H.ghna contains the same descriptions as G.hnta. I think that this is redundant. Moreover, as we are planning to update G.hnta in the next SG15 February meeting, these descriptions will become out of date in near future. Therefore, I suggest that H.ghna refers to G.hnta instead of describing details of these issues. You can find some relevant sections below:

- Section 6.2 "Transport model of Home Network" - IP aspects in section 8 "Management Functionality" - Section 9 "Interface with proprietary terminals" - Section 10 "Access Network"

Best regards,

Tatsuhiko Yoshida
