Text to accompany requirement 4.7
Submitter name: Pat Calhoun
Submitter email address: [email-masked]
Date first submitted: June 19,2001
Reference: 
Comment type: E
Priority: 1
Section: 4.7
Rationale/Explanation of issue: 
Section 4.7 really needs some justification.

Requested change: 
Add the following text to section 4.7:

"  It is believed that if a formal authentication exchange (e.g. exchanging
   credentials) were done during the context transfer, the computation overhead
   for both the sender and the receiver would cause additional and unnecessary
   latency to the handoff process. Therefore, the CT peers MUST exchange 
   credentials prior to any context transfer."

Proposal:
Adopt the text above in the -01 version of the requirements spec.
