Hi Geoff,
At least in my opinion that covers it well, but I think we are fishing
for others from the WG to comment. Sorry Geoff, you weren't CCd on my
earlier e-mail to the ND team with the first draft and request for
comments to proceed. I will forward it to you now.
I am now collecting comments on the assumptions and outline of the
draft, and then we have some action points to continue with the work.
Also split up the work initially, Samita has the goals section e.g.

So is this correct? Did Samita summarize the guidelines correctly.
What is the plan for the design team.

Hi All:
Since we are starting to work on the combined ND solution for 6lowpan,
as one of the members of the ad-hoc ND team, I thought it would be
very useful to verify our solution guidelines with the working group.
I am starting with a few bullet points, please check if that meets our
(6lowpan wg) requirements. Please feel free to suggest modification
when it makes sense.
ND Design goals:
* Neighbor discovery using IPv6 ND protocol or its variant
* The solution will use unicast/anycast messages to reduce mulitcast
* The solution should look into minimizing number of total ND messages
* Initial boot-strapping information and fault-tolerance should be
addressed if possible
* This solution must provide methods for IPv6 address allocation in
6lowpan nodes
* Define a link that serves 6lowpan common deployment
* The design should work with mesh-under(L2) and route-over(L3) routing
* The design should be scalable for adding new nodes into the network
* The solution should also keep in mind that 6lowpan is a low bW network
* The ND design may not necessarily address mobility in boot-strapping
and address assignment, but it may be extendable to address
mobility in future.
* The design will use IPv6 auto-configuration as the main method for
address assignment; however stateful address configuration will also
be considered
Thanks,
-Samita
