#47: Context improvement --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: [email protected] | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: nd | Version: Severity: - | Keywords: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- In the IETF-75 working group meeting the issue of the CID in the 6LoWPAN Prefix Information Option was brought up. During the IETF the design team found a solution which would clarify the advertisement of Prefix and Context information, which allows CID to be kept in 6LoWPAN-ND.
- Separate the Prefix Information and Context Information into separate options. This clarifies what is a prefix and what is context. - Use either the standard RFC4861 Prefix Information Option or an optimized one to save overhead. - Create a new Context Information Option which includes the CID along with the context. Therefore an RA would include a PIO followed by CID options. The use of the Multihop Information Option would remain the same. Work to be performed on the details. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/6lowpan/trac/ticket/47> 6lowpan <http://tools.ietf.org/6lowpan/> _______________________________________________ 6lowpan mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lowpan
