#46: M-bit in the RA --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: [email protected] | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: nd | Version: Severity: - | Keywords: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- nd-04 currently redefines the use of the M "Managed" bit to indicate that this router is an ER or has an ER available through it. Several people has found this confusing and would like to keep the original DHCPv6 managed indication for M.
This ticket is to change M back to its original meaning (DHCPv6 available). The availability of an ER will instead be encoded into the Prf field. The new Prf field encoding would be: "LoWPAN Routers with no ER available SHOULD set Prf to (00) for low preference, LoWPAN Routers with ER availability SHOULD set Prf to (01) for normal preference, and LoWPAN Edge Routers SHOULD set Prf to (01) for high preference." -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/6lowpan/trac/ticket/46> 6lowpan <http://tools.ietf.org/6lowpan/> _______________________________________________ 6lowpan mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lowpan
