Hi Michael, >>such work does not yet exist. I think it would be in charter for 6lo at this time? It would seem to be an extension to draft-ietf-6lo-paging-dispatch in >>some way. I wonder if it worth delay to do this now?
Right, there is no document on 6lo address formation that standardizes the following suggestion made in the privacy document. It is though covered in the charter as part of the extension of 6lowpan stack. I don't quite relate the connection with 6lo-paging-dispatch... Which document to delay ?

For example, if all nodes on a given L2 network have a shared secret (such as the key needed to get on the layer-2 network), the 64-bit IID might be generated using a one-way hash that includes (at least) the shared secret together with the Short Address. The use of such a hash would result in the IIDs being spread out among the full range of IID address space, thus mitigating address scans, while still allowing full stateless compression/elision. such work does not yet exist. I think it would be in charter for 6lo at this time? It would seem to be an extension to draft-ietf-6lo-paging-dispatch in some way. I wonder if it worth delay to do this now? -- Michael Richardson <[email protected]>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =- _______________________________________________ 6lo mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lo
