Hello, I'm a 2nd year PhD student and I'm trying to understand how 6LoWPAN works and there is some points I still don't understand.
During the neighbor discovery process, a host sends a Neighbor Solicitation message with an ARO and a Source Link-Layer Address option. Why is the SLLA option mandatory, since the EUI-64 is already contained in the Address Registration option ? This leads to my second question : in the figure 5 (detailed message address examples), why does the host use its short MAC address in the SLLAO rather than its 64 bits MAC address ?
