Hello,
I was going over the second spin of Draft-IETF-6lowpan-usercases. I am a bit unclear on the definition of the LoWPAN link. A LoWPAN Link is coined as: “A low-power wireless link which is shared by a link-local scope in a LoWPAN. In a LoWPAN, a link can be a very instable set of nodes, for instance the set of nodes that can receive a packet that is broadcast over the air in a route over LoWPAN, or the set of nodes currently reachable in an L2 mesh in a mesh under LoWPAN. Such a set may vary from one packet to the next as the nodes move or as the radio propagation conditions change.” It is clear that we are targeting point-to-point and point-to-multipoint here, but there is nothing that indicates the directionality of the link. Is the definition here (since it is a wireless context) considered unidirectional or bi-directional? Also, the definition given in RFC4861 does not really apply here. Thanks for anyone that could offer a clarification. "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from." - Andrew S.
