Hi Ted,

thanks for the dissection of use cases. The ones I understand:

1a) no infrastructure with nodes that see each other.
1b) followed by nodes that see each other connected to an infrastructure
with border router (possibly intermittently)
2) nodes that see each other connected to an infrastructure with border
router (possibly intermittently)

Where 1b and 2 are actually identical; and 1b does not necessarily
follow 1a.

The intermittent connection to the border router is not important
because from the first connection to the 6LBR, the 6LR remember the
border router options.

When different border routers fly over, it wil be difficult to to
instruct them all what the RD address is. (not clear what to recommend
here, I prefer to leave that out)

When nodes do not see each other, the presence of an RD is irrelevant.

The case that a node migrates from one infrastructure to the next is
beyond my competence. That was a use case for home networks with DNS
support?

I will add some phrases to the building control section to make the
connection to (absence of) the infrastructure clearer.

Any other suggestions?

Peter

Hm, okay.   That's the piece I was missing.   So there is some
infrastructure, just no external connection?   Or there is no
infrastructure, just nodes that find each other?   I _think_ these are
two separate use cases.   The use case I thought you were talking about
is where there are nodes that don't see each other, but do see the
border router as it flies over/drives by/whatever.   I suppose another
use case is where the leaf node is mobile, and the network
infrastructure that it sees changes over time: sometimes nothing,
sometimes ranger station 1, sometimes ranger station 2, etc. 

IOW it would be good to enumerate these use cases in more detail, and
then ask the question, how can I best configure this network, for each
such use case.
