The 6LoWPAN ND model does support a Relay option. There's
a question of whether or not there can be multiple Relay
hops. If we did that, then this would start to look
awfully close to DHCPv6.
Given the limited RAM available on typical 6LoWPAN devices,
it would be nice if the whiteboard could either be on a
router reached via a backhaul network or stored in a
distributed fashion on the LoWPAN itself. I am not familiar
enough with the issues involved to have a sense of the
possibilities or implications of either of these approaches.
Both would seem to add significant complexity.
