Subject: [6lo] IPv6 over BLE and small change to 3.2.2 neighbor discovery

Hi,

Due to another piece of offline feedback, we're planning on clarifying Section 3.2.2. bullet 1 al little bit, into:

1.  A Bluetooth LE 6LN SHOULD NOT register its IID for

    link-local address. A Bluetooth LE 6LN MUST register its IIDs for non-link-local addresses

    with the 6LBR by sending a Neighbor Solicitation (NS) message with

    the Address Registration Option (ARO) and process the Neighbor

    Advertisement (NA) accordingly.  The NS with the ARO option MUST be

    sent irrespective of the method used to generate the IID.  If the 6LN

    registers multiple IIDs per IPv6 prefix available on a link, the 6LBR

    will not be able to fully elide IID on downlink packets (6LBR has

    to send IID bits inline).

Hence I will soon update the draft with this and with the IID generation changes, if no further comments arise.
