6lowpan requires a mesh routing protocol below the IP layer.

For sure the word "requires" is incorrect.

I'm sure the term "6lowpan" can be redefined to make this statement true. For now, RFC4919 takes the stance that L2 routing ("mesh") is an integral part of the 6lowpan requirements.

Note that RFC4919 is a problem statement, not a requirement document with RFC2119 language. Furthermore there is nothing in the RFC that mandates for the routing function to
take place at the layer2.

If we want to change this, I'd like to hear a good argument why this recent consensus is no longer valid.


Thanks.

JP.

Gruesse, Carsten
