Thanks Pascal for the revised text.
Have some more points...
The revised text suggests to use EARO in the DAR/DAC messages (section
6.1 in 6775-update-07) to include TID so as to indicate freshness.
Current RFC6775 does not use ARO option in DAR/DAC message (section
4.1), but it copies most (but not all) of its fields including
registration lifetime, EUI-64 in the Duplicate Address Messages.
Quoting RFC6775, "The information contained in the ARO is also included in
the multihop DAR and DAC messages used between 6LRs and 6LBRs, but the
option itself is not used in those messages."
Two points:
a. This update suggests including EARO in DAR/DAC message which is in
contradiction to the text suggested in section4.1-RFC6775. Per me, I don't
see a problem with this inclusion, but just want to highlight this fact
and wondering if a text update could be added.
b. Secondly, with this inclusion, the reg lifetime and EUI-64 is redundant
in the DAR/DAC (since EARO option and base DAR/DAC have the same fields).
This is 12bytes redundancy! Essentially what we want is TID to be
included in DAR/DAC messages but using EARO in DAR/DAC might not be the
best way to do it.

Rahul

Dear chairs and all:
This revision addresses Sedat and Rahul's WGLC comments, and integrates the
computation of the TID as discussed at the WG meeting.
To my best knowledge, the document is ready for the next steps.
Take care,
Pascal

Abstract:
This specification updates RFC 6775 - 6LoWPAN Neighbor Discovery, to
clarify the role of the protocol as a registration technique,
simplify the registration operation in 6LoWPAN routers, as well as to
provide enhancements to the registration capabilities and mobility
detection for different network topologies including the backbone
routers performing proxy Neighbor Discovery in a low power network.
