Thanks!

Fragments are covered in the current draft.

I didn’t try to include RFC 6554 source routing because I first wanted to cover the functionality of the flow label draft, which is WGLCing over in ROLL/6man.  Obviously, given the dominance of non-storing mode, source routing is important.  Before designing this (probably as a separate dispatch type):

— Are there packet captures available that we could use as a corpus to discuss encoding choices?
— What are values of CmprI and CmprE that we are seeing in real networks (i.e., that this should be optimized for)?
— Do we need the segments left feature, or can we simply discard segments in each forwarding router?
— Can we use the hop limit field of the encapsulated IP packet, or do we need our own hop limit like in the RFC 4944 mesh header?
— How is ICMP error message generation done in real-world RPL implementations?  How much of that needs to be preserved?

This obviously is a bit more work than covering the information in the flow label draft, so I’m not sure it should be done now given the urgency that is being attached to that draft.
