Re: [Roll] suggested addition to draft-ietf-roll-efficient-npdao

[Rahul Arvind Jadhav <[e-mail]>]

The DCO could be initiated for regular route invalidation due to path changes or because of management decision. The status code can help understand the reason for initiating the DCO. I like the idea of this.

However, I don't know, procedurally, what it means to changing the draft at this stage.

The changes to draft would include new IANA considerations for the status field.

Subject: [Roll] suggested addition to draft-ietf-roll-efficient-npdao

Dear all ;

I know it's late but I'd suggest an addition to draft-ietf-roll-efficient-npdao. There's a reserved field in the DCO.
My suggestion is to use it to transport RPL DAO-ACK status values as defined in RFC 6550. This way we can signal the reason of the DCO to the node.
This will become significant with the RPL-unaware leaves draft, so we can rebuild a NA(EARO) with a non-zero status based on a DCO.

Else the RUL draft will have to update efficient NP DAO, which does not look as good.

Any objection to this?
