We (the ZigBee Alliance) will request a port number to use with MLE. After discussion this week at the ZigBee Alliance members meeting, we will follow the AD sponsored draft route. We will elicit input from as many related IETF WG's who might be interested in MLE We look forward to comments

we don't have time for all these changes It's likely that the next question that will come up is: Should this be published as an informational RFC called ZigBee's MLE protocol because the protocol is no longer really meant to be modified in the process or should it be pursued as a standards

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

Hi Michael, We believe UDP makes the most sense as a transport for MLE. ICMP will take entirely too long and will end up being a maintenance issue if there are additional information exchanges needed using MLE. While the ZigBee Alliance is using ROLL RPL and 6LoWPAN, the information exchanged

Hi Michael, It is the process needed to make additions to ICMP. We have multiple implementers using the existing MLE draft so we also are trying to get closure if we can since we plan to being commercial certification shortly. To us, MLE provides the features we need and there is ownership
