I like the idea of using two terms. It may make DNA more clear. I rephrase
my thoughts with them in below.
'Datalink Attachment' occurs when an interface has made link-layer
connection to a new link. 'Network Attachment' occurs when an interface has
valid IP configuration and becomes ready to send and receive IP datagrams.
When Datalink Attachment occurs, though link-layer connection is established,
Network Attachment may or may not be made.
Hence, the node has to detect its Network Attachment, whether it has valid
IP layer configuration or not. And if not, it has to gather the necessary
information to attach to a new IP subnet. Which is generally getting a right RA.

I see. What I mean by IP connection is like this.
A node has an IP Connection if it can send and receive IP packets with
any other node in Internet.
But if the term connection gives the wrong impression, we'd better find
a better phrase.

I am glad that we have mutual understanding.

It doesn't have to be included in the charter. I presented it as a common
base for further work, to make matters clear to speed up DNA work.
