Hi,
Over in the 6lowpan WG we have been using the following term in
draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd:
LoWPAN Edge Router
An IPv6 router that interconnects the LoWPAN to another network.
Referred to as an edge router in this document.
However following the ROLL documents it seems that this WG has converged
on the term "Border Router". We are updated our draft and I am proposing
to start using Border Router to keep consistency with ROLL as well.
Is Border Router going to continue to be the term used by the design team?
I can find references to Border Router in ROLL here:
draft-ietf-roll-home-routing-reqs
draft-ietf-roll-indus-routing-reqs
draft-ietf-roll-urban-routing-reqs
draft-thubert-roll-fundamentals
draft-tavakoli-hydro
Funny enough the (now expired) draft-ietf-roll-terminology doesn't
mention it, would be nice if that would be updated.
