Hi,

The new version of ND has now been posted, based on a clean re-write and technical merge of nd-08 and nd-simple as agreed in Anaheim. Thanks to the hard work of Erik and Samita along with great chair support for getting this done!  

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-09.txt

We now welcome comments on the draft. The 6lowpan WG tracker will now be used for addressing WG comments and planned updates. Right now we are so happy with this there are 0 tickets ;-) 

Changes from -08 to -09:

      o Clean re-write of the draft (re-use of some introductory material)
      o Merged in draft-chakrabarti-6lowpan-ipv6-nd-simple-00
      o Changed address registration to an option piggybacked on NS/NA
      o New Authoritative Border Router option
      o New Address Registration Option
      o Separated Prefix Information and Content Information
      o Optional DAD to the edge

> Abstract:
> The IETF 6LoWPAN working group defines IPv6 for low-power and lossy
> networks (LLNs) 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.
