Hi Esko In RPL, a node can advertise reachability (in DAO messages) to its hosts and addresses in its sub-DAG. A node should (must?) not advertise reachability to any other addresses. Also, a 6LN (host) need not know any thing about RPL at all. It can simply attach to a RPL router as a host. Any node that runs RPL is a router. An RPL leaf node is also a router.

So a 6LR does not have to 'detect' first whether another node is 6LR or 6LN. best regards, Esko Dijk -----Original Message----- From: 6lowpan-bounces@ietf.org [mailto:6lowpan-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Erik Nordmark Sent: Tuesday 29 March 2011 13:14 To: Mukul Goyal Cc: 6lowpan Subject: Re: [6lowpan] "Advertize on Behalf" flag in ARO On 3/3/11 5:07 AM, Mukul Goyal wrote: > Hi all > > Recently Anders pointed out the need for the "Advertize on Behalf" > flag in an Address Registration Option (ARO). > > We would not have needed this flag if only a host could send a > unicast NS containing an ARO.

I didn't see anybody else comment, so let me try. I don't know what assumptions RPL makes in particular, but if we are talking about a general case of a routing protocol, I don't see why there would be a need to tell a difference between a host sending an ARO and a router (which might be initializing and haven't yet enabled routing and forwarding) sending an ARO. In both cases I'd assume that the unicast address that is registered is something that should be reachable, hence it makes sense advertising reachability to that address. If this isn't the case, then a routing protocol would typically find out about its neighboring routers IP addresses, and from that it can decide to treat those IP addresses differently than the addresses assigned to hosts.
