We missed a really useful set of WGLC comments from Esko Dijk during the nd-16 release editing (sorry!). This nd-17 release takes care of those comments, which helped to clarify next-hop determination of multicast addresses, a couple normative errors, and editorial nits.

This and other similar > link technologies have limited or no usage of multicast signaling due > to energy conservation. In addition, the wireless network may not > strictly follow traditional concept of IP subnets and IP links. IPv6 > Neighbor Discovery was not designed for non-transitive wireless > links. The traditional IPv6 link concept and heavy use of multicast > make the protocol inefficient and sometimes impractical in a low > power and lossy network. This document describes simple > optimizations to IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, addressing mechanisms and > duplicate address detection for 6LoWPAN and similar networks. > > > > > The IETF Secretariat -- Zach Shelby, Chief Nerd, Sensinode Ltd. http://www.sensinode.com http://zachshelby.org - My blog "On the Internet of Things" http://6lowpan.net - My book "6LoWPAN: The Wireless Embedded Internet" Mobile: +358 40 7796297
