We are making progress towards the nd-03 release (by Friday I hope).
Reviews by several people brought up the following issues that were not
on the ticket list, which I want to check with the WG and include in nd-03:
1. The messages Router Registration/Router Confirmation (RR/RC), would
make much more sense to 6LoWPAN newcomers if they would be called Node
Registration/Node Confirmation instead (NR/NC). We discussed this
earlier but didn't find a name - NR/NC seems to work well. Is the WG OK
with this change?
2. nd-02 was difficult to understand for implementers as there started
to be many optional things across multiple link types and multiple
LoWPAN types. Several good reviews pointed out that 6lowpan-nd really
needs the Whiteboard for any benefit (otherwise you do RFC4861..), and
making it a default data structure for Edge Routers would make this
easier to understand and implement. The suggestion is to make the
Whiteboard a standard data structure for Edge Routers. Considering that
Edge Routers implement full IPv6 and RFC4861, the complexity this adds
is really marginal. Is the WG OK this change?
Thanks,
Zach
