Hi All,

According to the current 6lowpan-nd draft, I have one question.

The draft mentioned NS must include SLLA option in order to inform the 
link-layer address of the host. However when the router receives RS message 
from the host, the router responds RA to the host. At that time, the router 
needs to know the link-layer address of the host in order to send out RA to the 
host. So, I think SLLA option of the host must be included in RS instead of NS.

According to the current ND draft, after receiving RS message, the router sends 
NS message in order to solve the link layer address of the host by using 
solicited node multicast address. In order to eliminate the multicast packet as 
much as possible, I recommend to include SLLA option in RS instead of NS.

Thanks,
Tetsuya Murakami
