I agree with the recent proposal to remove the mandatory requirement for
a whiteboard and duplicate address detection.
However, 16 bit 802.15.4 addresses are a very useful optimisation.
Assigning these in a standard way is important in the absence of a
whiteboard. One option may be to use DHCPv6. However, the DHCPv6
packet sizes are quite large and so some sort of DHCPv6 message
compression would be useful. Extended LowPANs would also be useful in
some applications.
If the whiteboard and DAD are removed, I would like the issues of 16 bit
address assignment and extended LowPANs
Excuse me, sorry, but are the other non-16bit addresses (48bit) ever
assigned by DHCP?
I doubt IETF could spec a means to assign MAC addresses...
Thanks,
Alex
to still be addressed by an RFC
within the IETF 6LowPAN group, rather than having several different non
interoperable implementations.
