Re: [6lo] [Roll] RFC 8138 on IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) Routing Header

Thank you. Pascal, for seeing this through — this gives us a much better way to encapsulate RPL-routed traffic (and in particular the source routing in Non-Storing Mode) in all kinds of 6Lo-style networks.

Now let’s get the information out on implementation efforts.

Grüße, Carsten
