Hi Mukul,

See response below to your response on the PIO/RIO inclusion in P2P DIO messages.

-Regards, Joseph

[Joseph]
Section 6.1:
"...A P2P-DIO MAY carry one or more RIO and PIO options..."
I am not sure how these options should be used by the DAG members. Later on, in 9.1, it says that "..the temporary DAG must not be used to route packets....". So what is the purpose of RIO and also PIO ?

[Mukul]
The RIO would advertize to the target(s) the origin's connectivity to the specified prefix. Regarding PIO, I would very much like to allow P2P mode DIOs to carry PIOs to propagate prefixes for address selfconfiguration (i.e. have A flag set). I think we could forbid setting the R flag to one in a PIO carried in a P2P mode DIOs. Regarding the L flag, I think we could allow a P2P mode DIO to carry a PIO with L flag set subject to the following rules in RFC 6550:
<...>

[Joseph]
The RIO/PIO information is sent by the Origin to propagate its connectivity and prefix information. However, the route is established towards the Target. So I don’t understand why the Origin information is relevant ..
