Re: [6lowpan] [Roll] Heads up : Last Call: <draft-cardenas-dff-09.txt> (Depth-First Forwarding in Unreliable Networks (DFF)) to Experimental RFC

[Ralph Droms <[e-mail]>]

Filling in some details on this thread...

draft-cardenas-dff is under consideration for publication as an AD-sponsored individual submission Experimental RFC.  I agreed to sponsor it for publication because it doesn't really fit in any existing working groups and the requested publication status is Experimental.  As part of the review process, the document is in a 2-week IETF last call.  To ensure the quality of the document, it would be helpful to get reviews from 6lowpan WG participants (posted to the [e-mail] discussion list).
