Unfortunately, when a term enters the vernacular, its meaning often gets misinterpreted (e.g. for 'ZigBee', read '802.15.4'; for '6lowpan stack', read 'some proprietary stack which uses 6lowpan-hc in there somewhere').

For that reason, I don't think we should get too hung up about what 6lowpan is now considered to mean. In other words - let's publish.

Hi Megan;

I do 100% agree with Ralph here. I'd prefer that we make that change
before publish. Apart from that, I'm perfectly happy with the text as it
stands.

Cheers,

Pascal

Following up on Pascal's observation, I looked through the entire doc
for
occurrences of "6lopwan".  In my opinion, all of those occurrences
could be
replaced with "IEEE802.15.4-based network"; in some cases s/the
6lowpan/an IEEE802.15.4-based network/   In either case, note the
lower-
case "network".

Not meaning to delay the publication process further, but I think we
should
take a second to consider consistency...

Hello Megan

I think that for consistency:

   LOWPAN_HC1 and LOWPAN_HC2 are insufficient for most practical uses
of
   IPv6 in 6LoWPANs.  LOWPAN_HC1 is most effective for link-local

Should also become

   LOWPAN_HC1 and LOWPAN_HC2 are insufficient for most practical uses
of
   IPv6 in IEEE 802.15.4-Based Networks. LOWPAN_HC1 is most effective
for link-local

Don't you think?

Carsten, Pascal, and *ADs,

Thank you for your reply.  We have updated the title as requested.
Please
note that we have also updated the expansion of 6LoWPAN (in the
text)
to
match that in the title of RFC 4919.  Additionally, we have updated
the short
title that appears in the running header of the document (this is
best
reviewed in the text file below).  Please review and approve these
updates
or let us know if a different approach in either of these
additional
updates
would be preferable.

OK, I have reread all the messages, and I'm now ready to declare a
(rough)
consensus for
        Compression Format for IPv6 Datagrams over IEEE 802.15.4-based
Networks
(with an ever so slight edge for the -based, which is different
from
RFC
4944, but "Datagrams" is different, too).
While there were a number of voices for keeping 6LoWPAN in the
title
(as
in RFC 4919), there did not seem to be consensus for that.
I apologize for holding up this RFC for so long for what is pretty
much a
bikeshed color issue.
And, yes, I'm slowly getting back to IETF work, and will try to
start popping
the stack.
Gruesse, Carsten
