Hi,

On April, it was discussed and got consensus in ROLL [
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/roll/current/msg08634.html].

This technique saves bytes, as was demonstrated by Xavier in his
implementation [ start on Slide 41 -
https://bytebucket.org/6tisch/meetings/raw/712902bb451d113494a7045e9730f1bb50335a79/140720_ietf90_plugfest_toronto/ietf90_toronto_plugfest_slides.pdf].
Maybe we should enumerate the advantages and disadvantages of using it.
(Some of these are tracked in ticket #5, #6 and #7).


Anyway, demostratedIt needs the 6man approval to go forward.

Cheers,

Ines
