An EUI-64 node may want to use non-EUI-64 based IPv6 address for
communication or it may want to register multiple addresses at the same
time via multihop DAD mechanism. We need a way to verify that the
additional IPv6-address and its corresponding link-layer address(non-
EUI-64) are unique in a 6lowpan network. [ via multi-hop DAD mechanism].
However, for the address registration NS message, the node should use an
EUI-64 based IPv6-address and corresponding MAC address to avoid any
collision in the local link due to duplicate MAC-addresses.
There are a couple different ways to allow an LL64 to be used during
registration of a tentative (possibly non-unique) address.
1. Carry the address to be registered in the ARO for the initial
registration of a tentative address. Use the address to be registered as
the IP SRC address after that as in ND-12. No changes required to the
multi-hop DAD mechanism.
2. Carry the address to be registered and the LLA always in the ARO, see
proposal by Colin on the list.
