I will need to read this in more detail and reply. I now have a quick
comment bothering me since some time.

We have been reviewing 6lowpan Neighbor Discovery for quite some time
and have feedback on the list and from implementors.
We will now start Working Group Last Call on:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-13:
Registration:
The process during which a LoWPAN node sends an Neighbor
Solicitation message with an Address Registration option to a
Router creating a Neighbor Cache entry for the LoWPAN node with a
specific timeout.
This sounds as a NA (not NS) with a lifetime field. I wonder why isn't
it an NA. It does not solicit anything but it advertises.
Thus for 6LoWPAN Routers the Neighbor Cache
doesn't behave like a cache. Instead it behaves as a registry of
all the host addresses that are attached to the Router.
This bothers me: it is not a cache but it is called a cache.

The document is intended to be submitted by this Working Group to the
IESG for publication as a Standards-Track Document.
This is a two-week Working-Group Last-Call, ending on Friday, October 8,
2010 at 2359 UTC.
Please review the changes to the document carefully, and send your
comments to the 6lowpan list.
Thanks,
geoff
