I have read this draft. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Would 6LoWPan RFC6775 not be more appropriate for dealing with the 
issues identified in Section 5.6, when 802.11p is operating in OCB mode?

I realise that in a vehicular scenario, maintaining the mesh under 
network may prove challenging.
