Re: [IPv6] WG adoption for https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-thubert-6man-ipv6-over-wireless/ ?

["Pascal Thubert (pthubert)" <[e-mail]>]

Gentle reminder:

Please let us know if the addition of the new bit in the RPL option causes any issue on the 6MAN side (we expect not).

All the best to you all;

Pascal
