#41: Ad-hoc LoWPAN --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: [email protected] | Owner: [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: nd | Version: Severity: - | Keywords: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Fix the problem with the support of ad-hoc LoWPANs. The current nd-03 text basically describes how to make an Ad-hoc LoWPAN work just like a Simple LoWPAN - thus allowing nodes to function normally.
People on the list have problems with this - as it assumes some node has more resources - enough to store the whiteboard. The ULA prefix generation functionality is actually a good feature for all Edge Routers for cases where the LoWPAN is for some reason without a global or manually conigured IPv6 prefix. This feature should be moved to Section 7. If a true "Ad-hoc LoWPAN" can not even support a Whiteboard - then in reality this draft can not help very much. As Ad-hoc networking is not the focus of the 6lowpan WG - this section could be removed all-together. Text should be included in Section 5 address formation on what to do if there is no whiteboard in the network. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/6lowpan/trac/ticket/41> 6lowpan <http://tools.ietf.org/6lowpan/> _______________________________________________ 6lowpan mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lowpan
