6 Presentation_ID © 1999, Cisco Systems, Inc. Gene Choy Feb 12, 1999 How to Do the Work: Organization (Phase I) A single group focus on overall architecture – Define the peer-to-peer IP network model – Support inter-operating with legacy networks – Who: TSG-S, TSG-A, TSG-P, or this All-IP Ad Hoc ? – Time period: 3 months ? – How do we get a head start ? Leverage contributions from Mobile Wireless Internet Forum (MWIF)
