Hi Carsten:

RPL recognizes a movement when a DAO information has a stale
DAOSequence. The DAOSequence is an information that the owner of the
advertised target increments.
If we define an interaction whereby we redistribute ND-15 into RPL, then
(probably) the RPL router will inject a host route on behalf of the
host.
When the RPL router injects such a route and then maintains that route,
it still has has to provide an idea of the freshness of the information
that it is injecting in a DAOSequence.
When the host moves to an alternate router, it would have to provide
something so that the new router sets an updated DAOSequence that the
routing update percolates up the DODAG.
IOW, without a TID, a host cannot efficiently move from a router to the
next.

People can find more on TID interactions with RPL and ND in
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-thubert-6lowpan-backbone-router-02 .
I'll see what I do with that draft; probably propose it to ROLL.
