Re: [dna] Applicability statement for Simple DNA (Providing text to resolve issue #11)

[Julien Laganier <[e-mail]>]

As per RFC5213 all of the MAGs of a PMIPv6 domain that can serve as 
default router for a MN would present the same link-local address to 
the MN. The link-layer address is either pre-configured on all MAGs, or 
sent by the LMA to the MAG in a Binding Acknowledgement.
