HI Pascal,

the bit definition sounds like a 6LO subject.
Handling the bit for RPL like a Roll subject.

makes sense? (did I understand correctly?)

Hello Peter

The bit is agnostic to which technique, say RPL but also any routing
protocol or ND proxy is used in the particular environment.

The bit says I’m a plain host, please ensure reachability for the
address I’m registering.

The bit is chosen in that direction for backward compatibility with RPL.

A plain host that conforms rfc6775 update will always set both the R and T bits.

Regards,

Pascal

Side question: Is it the right approach or should the leaf set the bit
instead?

I don't understand how a node, 6LN, that is not aware of RPL can nevertheless set a bit related to RPL.
I expect the 6LR to do all handling.

Or do I misunderstand the context?

Peter
