Hi,

I am not a 6lo native, but I reviewed the draft specifically from a
timestamp formatting perspective.
In the NTP working group we currently have a draft in WGLC that presents
guidelines for defining timestamp formats.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ntp-packet-timestamps-05

I believe that the definitions of the timestamps (DT and OT)
in draft-ietf-6lo-deadline-time should be more detailed. For example,
aspects about the epoch and the potential effect of leap seconds are
currently not described in the current draft.
I would suggest to follow the timestamp specification template of Section 3
in draft-ietf-ntp-packet-timestamps-05.

Thanks,
Tal.
