RE: 6MAN Adoption call on raft-chakrabarti-nordmark-6man-efficient-nd-04

["Hosnieh Rafiee" <[e-mail]>]

I reviewed this draft and support its adoption. I guess some of the
recommendation in this draft such as DAD process can be also used to
optimize NDP.
 
I have a few suggestions and questions
 
- In the draft, page 4, page 7, page 8, page 14, page 22 ... the authors
discussed about using EUI-64, since the status of EUI-64 is not clear, I
think it would be helpful if you explain more about the random generation
approach. maybe a reference to rfc 4086 or other approaches. Or either you
need to avoid EUI-64 deprecation.

Questions:
- I still did not get exactly how you do your optimization in mixed-mode. I
guess whenever any node that uses classic NDP do not hear anything from the
node with efficient-nd, then it will remove it from the cache and again next
time when your node wakes up, it should repeat the process to announce its
IP address. Is this task done by re-registration but what about nodes that
are not router? Probably I missed something about the mixed-mode.
 
- I guess your routers must implement this feature otherwise it cannot
support it. Mixed mode seems only useful for hosts and not routers. Is it
true? 
 
 
 
typos
- page 4: VM address reslution -> resolution
 
 Thanks
Smile,
Hosnieh
