Hi Geoff,

Thanks for sending out the new revision. One question, one comment.

Question: could you explain the rationale for leaving out the fragmentation
recovery item?

Comment:

"3. Produce "6LoWPAN Architecture" to describe the design and
implementation of 6LoWPAN networks.  This document will cover the
concepts of "Mesh Under" and "Route Over", 802.15.4 design issues such
as operation with sleeping nodes, network components (both battery-
and line-powered), addressing, and IPv4/IPv6 network connections.
As a spin-off from that document, "6LoWPAN Routing Requirements" will
describe 6LoWPAN-specific requirements on routing protocols used in
6LoWPANs, addressing both the "route-over" and "mesh-under" approach.
Both documents will be informational."

I do not understand the rationale here: I think that we should first
determine whether we both need a mesh-under *and* a route-over approach. You
know my opinion: we have numerous examples in the past of such approaches
that ALL failed for obvious technical reasons but this is my technical
opinion. As far as 6lowpan is concerned, shouldn't we first have a
discussion to get a consensus there ? *If* it turns out that both are
needed, then add an introductory section in the architecture document
pointing to the requirement document(s).

Thus I would rather suggest not to list this as a WG item but to leave it
out for the moment and continue to have the discussion until we have a
consensus. Then at that point we could decide what to do. On the other hand,
having a separate documents listing the 6LoWPAN specific routing
requirements, owned by the 6lowpan WG and reviewed by ROLL would make a lot
of sense.

Thoughts ?

Thanks.

JP.
