Hi,
The first version of the ND for 6LoWPAN I-D has now been posted and is
available for comment. We would appreciate constructive comments and
list discussions on this before the IETF, and I would like to request a
slot in Minneapolis to present the draft.
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-shelby-6lowpan-nd-00.txt
There are some known open issues on this draft:
o Trickle and its optional use for RA periods in to be in next version.
o Fault tolerance to be defined in next version.
o Ad-hoc network (no infrastructure) to be discussed in next version.
o Context dissemination to be described in more detail. To be determined
in how much detail.
o Can the 6LoWPAN Address Option be integrated into the Address Option
using options in the S field? One less option..
o Consistent for both mesh under and route over may not be 100%
consistent yet
Regards,
Zach

Filename: draft-shelby-6lowpan-nd
Revision: 00
Title: Neighbor Discovery for 6LoWPAN
Creation_date: 2008-10-24
WG ID: Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 39
Abstract:
The 6LoWPAN format allows IPv6 to be used over very low-power, low-
bandwidth wireless networks often making use of extended multihop
topologies. However, the use of standard IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
over 6LoWPAN networks has several problems. Standard ND was not
designed for wireless links, the standard IPv6 link concept and heavy
use of multicast makes it inefficient. This paper specifies Neighbor
Discovery optimized for 6LoWPAN.
