Hello Gabriel :

Yes, I implicitly support the document in WGLC. I have to raise one issue about 
it, that we probably have been a bit too efficient in cleaning up references to 
RPL in the last version to prepare for this LC. As it goes, the text in section 
4.2 that mandated the way the TID is computed and incremented (lollipop and 
all) is now all gone, since it came from a reference to RFC6550. The text would 
say in 05:

"                                                           The TID essentially 
obeys the same rules as

   the Path Sequence field in the Transit Information Option (TIO) found

   in the RPL Destination Advertisement Object (DAO) 
[RFC6550<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6550>].
"

This test is needed otherwise the 6LBR will not be able to compare 2 values of 
a TID and understand the intension of the sender WRT what's newer/older.

I see 2 possibilities:

-         Restore the reference, so people clearly see that the TID field is 
meant to contain the same value / same incrementing and wrapping rules as the 
RPL Path Sequence

-         Copy the text from RFC 6550 so this document is self-contained, and 
leave it completely to another document to describe the optimizations that can 
be achieved by coupling ND and RPL.


What do others think?
