Hi Colin Thanks
> There is no explicit join method. That's what I thought. "Join" just sounded like a rather active thing to me... Cheers, Anders -----Original Message----- From: Colin O'Flynn [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 25. februar 2011 14:29 To: Anders Brandt; [email protected]; '6lowpan' Subject: RE: [6lowpan] -nd-15: Joining the all-nodes multicast address Hi Anders, RFC4861 uses the same wording, where it means you just listen on the all-nodes multicast address. There is no explicit join method. I'm not sure in which RFC it describes joining the multicast group. I would guess RFC4291 as that describes multicast addressing, but there might be somewhere better.

The host must accept messages sent to the all-nodes multicast address" OR: "A host must accept messages sent to the all-nodes multicast address within the link-local range of the host" Thanks, Anders -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Carsten Bormann Sent: 17. februar 2011 16:58 To: 6lowpan Subject: [6lowpan] Working Group Last call for draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-15 In September/October, we had the first WGLC on 6LoWPAN-ND, which resulted in a number of detailed comments and two resulting fine-tuning iterations of the draft. draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-15.txt has been out for two months now. I understand it has taken part in several interops with multiple implementations in this period; no issues came up. We now start the Working Group Last Call on: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-15 The document is planned to be submitted by this Working Group to the IESG for publication as a Standards-Track Document. This is a two-week Working-Group Last-Call, ending on Thursday, 2011-03-03 at 2359 UTC. Please review the changes to the document carefully once more, and send your comments to the 6lowpan list. Please also do indicate to the list if you are all-OK with the document.
