Too bad that we have to rehash this again because you are coming late to this discussion. We dealt with this issue already and the IESG said that an implementation that did not include IPsec and the like was still an implementation of IPv6. > > o The protocol described in the format specification is not > IPv6.

If you do not use header compression then an IPv6 packet in the payload of the 6lowpan frame format will work perfectly fine and everything good will happen. The 6lowpan compressed headers are never intended to be passed uncompressed out of a 6lowpan. > > > In fact WE (Invensys and some other companies) already have and WE > > (Invensys) have it deployed in a significant number of homes in pilots > > in the US right now. > > See above. > > > I do not agree with the wording for your suggested Charter changes, > > though I do truly appreciate that someone is starting some sort of > > exchange on the list. > > Feel free to suggest alternative language and ideas. > > -tjs > > _______________________________________________ > 6lowpan mailing list > [email protected] > https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lowpan _______________________________________________ 6lowpan mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lowpan
