But the 6lowpan network will not run efficiently. This has been discussed for many years in the 6lowpan working group and there is no doubt that there is an optimized solution is needed for a power-efficient 6lowpan network. The co-authors of the current 6lowpan-ND have tried hard to accommodate all corners of the problems in the low power and lossy networks including multi-hop subnets, and migration of nodes from one 6lowpan subnet to another etc. The problems are real and the solutions are there - but we would have to define a basic scope that will be most useful for average applications. The second/follow-up document will describe further ND optimization necessary for enhanced 6lowpan applications/usage - that's all I was trying to say.
