Re: [Roll] Dissenting technical arguments unwelcome

2013-07-26 Thread Don Sturek
Hi Emmanuel, I think if route over protocols are to adhere to RFC 5889, much more work needs to go into making ULAs useful. For our project we used:6LoWPAN (RFC 4944), 6LoWPAN-ND (RFC 6775), ROLL RPL (RFC 650), mDNS (RFC 6762) with some extensions to use ULAs (among others) and I can say

in the ROLL WG, amongst others Rob Caigie and Don Sturek, were interested in the topic of multi-link subnets and the related multicast scope for MPL / for IPv6 in general [1]. This is an important technical topic and deserves due discussion on this mailing list and 6man. I think that both discussions

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 Ulrich, I did review the you cited in your earlier e-mail (RFC 5889). It seems that RFC suggests that link local addresses not be generated for interfaces with undetermined link characteristics (which certainly apply to route over protocols like ROLL RPL and the MANET protocols). However,

Hi Thomas (and Michael), I don't agree that MLE targets only RPL. The draft was written carefully to avoid having a narrow focus around RPL. That said, the deployment we are using this draft for uses 6LoWPAN, 6LoWPAN ND, ROLL RPL (non-storing) and I think many others will find the information
