#141: Donald Eastlake's DISCUSS comments on 6lowpan-nd
Changes (by zach@…):
* owner: nordmark@… => zach@…
* status: new => assigned
Comment:
Proposed solution:
- Keep comptaibility with existing implementations while fixing the
problem for new implementations.
- Extend the version number field with another 16 bits. The current
16-bits are version-low and the following 16-bit are version-high. Explain
what happens when you run out of version numbers.
- Add a 16-bit lifetime field after the version fields in minutes. If you
receive something with a lifetime of zero it should be assumed to be a
default number (TBD) as this may come from an old implementation.
- Add explanatory text on how 6LBRs should set these fields and how 6LRs
should interpret the fields.
