Elwyn, thanks for your review. Pascal, thanks for your responses. I entered a No Objection ballot.

For now what we specify is that from the RPL perspective the listed codes denote a failure such that the RPL operation that wraps it cannot happen and that's enough for us. ED> While I understand that it would be polite to involve 6LoWPAN, WGs don't 'own' RFCs and their associated IANA registries. Since this draft 'needs' the extra information I personally wouldn't see a problem in asking for the extra column. It doesn't break anythng 6LoWPAN are doing AFAICS. Anyway that's not my call... ask your AD.

Yes, this was a discussion with Alvaro as well during his AD review and what you see is the outcome. In particular, this is one reason why [EFFICIENT-NPDAO] is referenced normatively. ED> Hmm. Maybe the rest of the IESG will have something to say about this. PT> Maybe I misunderstand what you mean by synchronize. Would you report the change in NPDAO?

Done it (relunctantly) for ND. RPL has been used as a noun by people of the art for a long while now. Expending it would turn the abstract in a book. ED> I know, I know. But it isn't in the RDC Editor's list of well-jnown abbreviations. Sorry! PT> It’s hard to recognized RPL in its full expansion. I tricked the text to avoid the acronym. “ This specification updates RFC6550, RFC6775, and RFC8505, to provide routing services to IPv6 Nodes that implement RFC6775, RFC8505, and their extensions therein, but do not support RFC6550. “ > s9.2.3, item 1: This would be a useful point to mention that the Target IPv6 > address is marked by the F Flag being 1. Actually it is not. It is set to 0 per the previous section. But the Prefix Length is 128 indicating a host address (not that of the advertiser though, thus the 'F' flag set to 0). ED> I'll take your word for that! The point I was trying to make was that given you have introduced the F Flag, I think it would be highly desirable to explicitly highlight the point where an implementation would expect to set an F flag as well as places where it isn't set. I thought there would be an opportunity somewhere in s9.2.1. PT> You’re correct, we define the flag here because we change the Target Option but this spec is not the one that really needs it. It was an opportunistic insertion. This information is useful to test the path back when we advertise a prefix. It gives the root an address to ping within the advertised prefix. For Host routes, it’s only an indicator that the node is advertising self vs. another party, which in the case of this spec, is redundant with the ‘External’ flag.
