Re: [6lowpan] Working-Group Last Call for draft-ietf-6lowpan-usecases-06

Dear Samita,

Thanks for you support of the use-case document, and your valuable comments.
LC is an "logical entity" for local data aggregation, status
management of local nodes, etc.
It is not a router, but in mesh-under, such a local control point can
be also used for data forwarding for the neighbors.
However, it is highly dependant on deployment decision to set seperate
nodes for seperate roles. Thus, I think that specifying such a detail
role is out of scope of use-case document.
LC was defined for explaining deployment scenarios for nodes with a
role of management of local information.
If the wording is not clear, would you please suggest some changes?

Thanks again.

Eunah
