Hi Ian,
I do not think the MANET protocols should be re-engineered in 6lowpan.
I believe that a L2 implementation of minimal DYMO can fulfil 6lowpans
requirements.
I think packet optimizations are acceptable to explore, but protocol
behavior should not be changed.
I think that the charter should state exactly what type of
"optimizations" are to be explored.
Good point. "Optimization" is highly ambiguous.
No, we don't want to create another protocol; in other environments,
what we are trying to do would have been called "profiling", i.e.,
defining a subset that is interoperable in the specific domain.
Produce "Optimization of the Neighbor Discovery Protocol for
6lowpans"
to define how to apply the existing Neighbor Discovery protocol in a
6lowpan.
Again, I think we should reuse IPv6 ND or use a MANET hello protocol
(OLSRv2 or SMF neighborhood discovery seem suitable). Again, packet
formats could be optimized, but the protocol behavior should not.
Here I'm not so sure. I wouldn't want to rule out new protocol
development in this space.
What makes you confident that either ND as is or the MANET protocols
will fit the bill?
Gruesse, Carsten
