Re: [Roll] Adoption of draft-goyal-roll-rpl-compression as a new ROLL WG document

It is not a replacement. It is an optional feature. This feature is to be used in deployments that consider it to be useful. Such deployments would probably have all devices implement this feature. Or such deployments would be OK with the fact that any devices that do not implement this feature would not be able to talk to the devices that do. Other deployments need not use this feature. 

Thanks

The issue Mukul is that GRRC is not an addition to RPL, it is a
replacement.
