thanks, that's good to know too.

Running 6LoWPAN in other modes could still be RPL-based. The nodes close
to the BR would still see much traffic, though they might deal with it
differently than 6TiSCH. (Especially with the simpler modes, I expect
congestion to even have worse effects than with 6TiSCH).

Anyhow, there don't appear to be any parts that are particularly hard to
implement that could be dropped with a less strict one-roundtrip rule,
so overall it's still a good property.

I'll explore this further as time permits, and hope to at some point
come back asking for opinions on a concrete proposal.

Thanks
