Hi, 

Thank you for your answer, 

See inline.

Good Point, 100% agree.

I think they are good references to build some arguments into this discussion.

When you say "IMHO, as long we have a ROLL WG in IETF we need to forward work to it which has no mobility behavior", do you mean that the difference between ROLL and MANET is limited to mobility considerations ?

Based on the docs you mentioned, I see that RFC5548, RFC5826, and RFC5867 all include the usual IoT constraints : Memory, Processing, Power, Battery, Cost and Size of device.
RFC5673 does not mention explicitly processing and size constraints, but mention all the others.

RFC 2501 speak about energy and power, as you previously mentioned, but does not say something on the following constraints :  Memory, Processing, Cost and Size.

Do you think that these constraints are in the MANET scope ?
I guess that they may be (obviously for Cost), but not in the same order of magnitude as the type of devices described in the requirements RFC of ROLL.

Regards,

Cédric.
