Hi JinHyeock,

I have read your DNA solution framework document, and looks like a very 
good summary of what needs to be done.  Thankyou.

A few notes:

It may be worth mentioning the RS implosion problem.  How do we allow 
nodes to solicit quickly when there is a possibility of synchronzation 
between multiple nodes. The document talks about one of the tasks being 
to get an RA quickly, and so dealing with this may be considered to be 
part of the promlem of getting a fast RA, but maybe it's worth mentioning.

I don't agree with the last paragraph of section 4.1.1 regarding the 
uniquness of link identfiers.

    "Though, in theory, local uniqueness is sufficient, it may entail
    several complications.  For simplicity's sake, it may be better to
    assign a globally unique Link Identifier."

If the goal of assigning a link identifier is to distinguish between 
links when movement occurs, then the identifier only needs to be 
different to the identifiers on links that it is possible to move to 
directly.  I think that a random identifier of appropriate length is 
sufficient for this purpose and is simple.  Assigning a truely globally 
unique identifier would require some kind of registry or central 
control.  I don't think you would do this "for simplicity's sake".

Anyway, that's just my 2c worth on one of this issues that needs to be 
discussed.

Thanks again,
Brett.
