I have pointed out two documents in my earlier email that explain in long detail why I believe that multi-hop subnets are a really bad idea. The AUTOCONF RFC 5889 presents an architecture for avoiding all these problems by using /128 prefixes. In that regards, a subnet wide flooding would be

It is important to keep the 6man CC, since the document is a 6man document. I will top-post your entire comments for 6man, but then copy them again and comment. For me RFC 1136 was quite clarifying. It states that the Internet subnet term is ambiguous - It refers to one-hop IP

Hi Ulrich, Let me say as an implementer of ROLL RPL (and Trickle Multicast) the topic of multi-link subnets and the general topic of multicast address scope continues to be a major concern. For example, we needed to extend mDNS to cover site specific addressing for this reason as well as need to

Ulrich, thank for starting a new thread on this topic as I asked. I am looking forward to understanding how we can do mesh-over networking without creating multi-link subnets. It might just be that we need to always auto-configure /128 addresses on the interfaces, and use /128 routes

Note I changed the title on the thread.. My problem with RFC 5889 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5889) is that it solves the problem simply by saying don't allocate link locals. The issue I have is that it precludes the use of mDNS (which operate off of link locals). Some questions: 1)

Hi Michael, We did a good bit of work on the mDNS topic and there are quite a few subtleties in the mDNS draft that are really focused only on correct link local operation. Here are a few (from RFC 6762): 1) Section 3.1 Any DNS query for a name ending with .local. MUST be sent to the mDNS
