Carsten,
This is great. Thanks for starting this. I think this document will
be critical as we move forward. Do you think we need a section on ND?
I hope the folks from Zigbee, Jennic, Tridium, Atmel and Ember who are
currently building specs and products based on 6lowpan will provide some
of this much needed information.
wow, thanks for starting this!
