Re: [6lowpan] [saag] Follow up on IEEE 802.15 Key Management

Thank you.

I think it'd be useful for IETF community to understand what those 5/6 distinct standards, and if the KMP being sought would be a generic solution or specific to each one of them. PANA being used for one of them already, I wonder whether it applies to the others or not. Any ideas on that?
