Hi,
A new version of draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd is now available:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-04.txt
I will present this in Stockholm, if there are any issues you want me to
particularly touch on during the WG meeting, please drop me an e-mail.
Changes since -03:
o Moved Ad-hoc LoWPAN operation to Section 7 and made ULA prefix
generation a features useful also in Simple and Extended LoWPANs.
(#41)
o Added a 32-bit Owner Nonce to the NR/NC messages and the
Whiteboard, removed the TID history. (#39)
o Improved the duplicate OII detection algorithm using the Owner
Nonce. (#39)
o Clarified the use of Source and Target link-layer options in
NR/NC. (#43)
o Included text on the use of alternative methods to acquire
addresses. (#38)
o Removed S=2 from Address Option (not needed). (#36)
o Added a section on router dissemination consistency. (#44)
o Small improvements and extensive editing. (#42, #37, #35)

A new version of I-D, draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-04.txt has been successfuly
submitted by Zach Shelby and posted to the IETF repository.
Filename: draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd
Revision: 04
Title: 6LoWPAN Neighbor Discovery
Creation_date: 2009-07-12
WG ID: 6lowpan
Number_of_pages: 56
Abstract:
This document specifies Neighbor Discovery optimized for 6LoWPAN.
The 6LoWPAN format allows IPv6 to be used over energy and bandwidth
constrained wireless networks often making use of multihop
topologies. However, the use of standard IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
with 6LoWPAN has several problems. Standard Neighbor Discovery was
not designed for non-transitive wireless links, and the standard IPv6
link concept and heavy use of multicast makes it inefficient. This
document specifies a new ND mechanism allowing for the efficient
detection of duplicate addresses over entire LoWPANs, which also
optimizes other ND operations. In addition context dissemination,
claim and defend address generation, and the support of Extended
LoWPANs over Backbone Links are specified.
