A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the IPv6 over Low power WPAN Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Neighbor Discovery Optimization for Low Power and Lossy Networks (6LoWPAN)
Author(s) : Zach Shelby

Filename : draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-17.txt
Pages : 60
Date : 2011-06-13
The IETF 6LoWPAN working group defines IPv6 over Low-power Wireless
Personal Area Networks such as IEEE 802.15.4. This and other similar
link technologies have limited or no usage of multicast signaling due
to energy conservation. In addition, the wireless network may not
strictly follow traditional concept of IP subnets and IP links. IPv6
Neighbor Discovery was not designed for non-transitive wireless
links. The traditional IPv6 link concept and heavy use of multicast
make the protocol inefficient and sometimes impractical in a low
power and lossy network. This document describes simple
optimizations to IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, addressing mechanisms and
duplicate address detection for 6LoWPAN and similar networks.
