Subject: [6lowpan] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-13

Hi,

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-13.txt

We submitted an updated version of ND. This now includes a solution for the duplicate MAC address issue using a simple Error-to feature (See Section 6.5.2 "Returning Address Registration Errors"), along with new examples contributed by Colin (thanks!) and editorial comments from Carsten. The only change this draft affects for -12 implementations is the destination address used for returning NA messages with an ARO error (Status > 0).

Regards,
Zach, Samita and Erik

> Abstract:
> The IETF 6LoWPAN working group defines IPv6 over Low-power Wireless
> Personal Area Networks such as IEEE 802.15.4.  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.
