Business #5 Comment resolution on P802.1CF-D2.0 CID89: Backhaul definition as finally agreed: The portion of the access network between node of attachments and the access router. CID73: resolution proposal as accepted: Rephrase text in lines 579-582 to: On the datapath indicated by R1 and R3, the NRM covers all Physical and Data Link layer functions providing an integrated model for backhaul connectivity combined with user-specific connectivity functions as facilitated through the IEEE 802.1 bridging technologies. Add footnote: In the telecommunication domain there is often differentiation between user plane functions and transport plane functions; The IEEE 802 access network reference model integrates both planes into a common model aligned to the layered networking capabilities of IEEE 802.1Q.
