Hi Samita,
I'm still confused by this. Earlier, Zach said that in fact we should
not be using GP16 in the src IP address of the NS. I totally agree.
However, there is now some talk of setting the SLLA option to be the
16-bit address of the device attempting address registration. This is
also surely wrong? We should be carrying the tentative 16-bit address in
the ARO, not in any other field. Then it only becomes a real address
(MAC or IP) when it is fully confirmed it is not a duplicate.
The SLLAO needs to be a link-layer address that can be used to send the
success/failure of the registration, hence using the possibly duplicate
16 bit MAC address wouldn't work.
