Hi Daniel, Please see my comments in-line.
> Erik and I have updated draft-chakrabarti-6lowpan-ipv6-nd-02.txt and > submitted for publication. The new update includes a section on generic > application of this draft for non-multicast, non-broadcast network. > At the last wg meeting, the request was made for such an update for > the Wimax effort on IPv6. Let me clarify one point, I remember the relevent discussion in Dallas. Yes, we definitely need this aspect, however 16ng WG (IP over IEEE 802.16) has been newly created in INT area and they will take care of this issue as one of WG deliverable. So, please toss it to that.
There is no conflict with 16ng ND with this work. As Erik and Basavaraj mentioned before that we need to make sure that 6lowpan-ND and 16ng ND modifications do not provide different solutions for the same problem. Because the solution presented in 6lowpan-ND document can be generally applicable to any other non-multicast/broadcast energy-efficient network (16ng is one of the immediate applications), the 'general applicability' of this draft may be useful for other type of power efficient networks as well. Thus the idea is that 16ng-ND draft can update its text based on the information in the general applicability section of the 6lowpan-ND draft.
Here is a 16ng WG approval; http://eeca16.sogang.ac.kr/pipermail/16ng/Week-of-Mon-20060619/000154.html > Two questions to the working group and the chairs: > > 1) Should this draft( 6lowpan-ipv6-nd) be published as a WG document ? I don't have a strong objection and the current document really looks good. However before that, we should trigger 6lowpan WG rechartering taking into account this issue and others concerned.
We have had extensive discussion on the usefulness of 6lowpan-ND work at the January Interim meeting. My understanding from that meeting is that IPv6 ND optimization is a no-brainer item in the new charter. So, I agree that it'll be good to see the 6lowpan charter updated. Thanks, -Samita
In my memory, there are five items. - 6lowpan bootstrapping and IPv6 ND optimization - Stateful header compression problem statements - Recommendations for 6lowpan applications - 6lowpan mesh routing - 6lowpan security analysis Geoff and Carsten, what is going on in rechartering ? > 2) Are we OK with publishing the draft as "IPv6 Neighbor Discovery > Optimization > for IEEE 802.15.4 and other non-multicast networks" so that it contains > specifics on 6lowpan and a generic guideline for other relevant networks? Above. Regards. Daniel (Soohong Daniel Park) Mobile Convergence Laboratory, SAMSUNG Electronics.
