As the new shepherding AD for 6LO, I just found a reported (i.e., neither verified nor closed) erratum on RFC 4944, "Transmission of IPv6 Packets over IEEE 802.15.4 Networks". https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=6194 This erratum was never posted to the 6LO list probably due to a technical issue.
What is the WG view on this erratum ? Thank you in advance for the discussion. Regards -éric The reported errata is: Reported By: Tommaso Pecorella Date Reported: 2020-05-30 Section 6 says: However, in the resultant interface identifier, the "Universal/Local" (U/L) bit SHALL be set to zero in keeping with the fact that this is not a globally unique value. It should say: However, in the resultant interface identifier, the "Universal/Local" (U/L) bit SHALL be set to one in keeping with the fact that this is not a globally unique value. Notes: IEEE (see https://standards.ieee.org/content/dam/ieee-standards/standards/web/documents/tutorials/eui.pdf) states that: "the second least significant bit of Octet 0 (the U/L bit) indicates universal (U/L=0) or local (U/L=1) administration of the address." Thus, the U/L bit in the "pseudo 48-bit address" shall have its U/L bit set to one, not to zero.
