Carles, Thanks for incorporating the comments and feedback. I did a round
of review and the comments are handled according to what I had in mind.
Thanks.

There are some more comments I had during my subsequent review. Please have
a look. I will provide the shepherd write-up after this.

Best,
Rahul

--------Comments-------
1) Section 2
"The IPv6 forwarding devices of the mesh have to implement both Node and
Router
roles, while simpler leaf-only nodes can implement only the Node role."
The roles here refer to roles as described in Bluetooth IPSP Spec. I was
confused with the Host and Route mode as described in RFC 4861. I would
suggest
adding explicit ref here.
[Later I found that a para above has a context for IPSP and the Node/Router
roles. Thus I would leave it up to you to add an explicit ref.]

2) Section 3.3.1:
"Multihop DAD functionality as defined ... MUST be supported."
RFC7668 didn't mandate DAD. I am not sure if we should mandate it here. If
an
implementation decides to use SLAAC with a static link address then DAD
won't be
necessary. The cost of multihop DAD is high.

3) Section 3.3.2:
"A Bluetooth LE host MUST register its non-link-local addresses ... "

This stmt contradicts with another stmt in section 3.3.3 which says,
"A 6LN SHOULD register its non-link-local address with EARO in the
next-hop router.  Note that in some cases (e.g. very short-lived
connections) it may not be worthwhile for a 6LN to send an NS with
EARO for registering its address."

My suggestion would be to use SHOULD even in Section 3.3.2.

4) Section 3.3.3:
"... non-link-local packet transmissions originated and performed by a 6LN,
and
non-link-local packets intended for a 6LN that are originated or forwarded
by a
neighbor of that 6LN."
What does "performed by a 6LN" imply here? Suggest just keeping originated
by
a 6LN, unless I am missing sth here.

5) [nit] Section 3.3.3:
"..., context- based compression MAY be used."
remove space between "context- based"
