Hello Carsten:

The split and domain-dependent use of the Flow Label field was still on the table in the RFC 6437 discussions. This was rejected as a general rule but we still need an exception to RFC 6437 for LLNs so let us see what we get there.

I can still agree with you to progress on a 6lo NHC proposal and produce the best personal submission we can for WG evaluation. This in turn does not mean that 6lo will adopt the work or that ROLL will favor that option. 

I suggest we focus discussions on the relevant MLs:
- 6MAN on whether we can avoid having to set and/or carry a field of randomized 20 bits in the LLN  then eventually rewrite it for LLN purpose
- ROLL to decide whether to use a ROLL solution (based on FL is the only one on the table) or wait for 6lo to deliver
- 6Lo to decide whether and how to compress the RPL option (3 proposals on the table)

In any case copying 6TiSCH, which depends on the overall result to deliver the minimal draft, is a good idea.

Cheers,

Pascal
