Erik,

> The frustrating thing is that the same folks that argue that the WG shouldn't work on a different design (targeting multicast challenged links), keep on suggesting tweaks. If the WG thinks we should work on improving ND for such links (and perhaps also improve it for battery operated hosts), then let's do that work. If not, then let's stop suggesting tweaks.

before designing anything new, I would like to see:
 - a clear description of the problem(s)
 - an analysis of how well we can do with existing protocols

does that sound fair?

cheers,
Ole
