An updated version of the ND optimization draft has been submitted. We closed the three tickets that were created from the Beijing WG meeting. All three were minor changes. Implementers should note that the unit of lifetimes has changed to 60 seconds (instead of 10), and that an additional state was added to the Context Table of nodes. 

   Changes from -14 to -15:

      o Changed use of redirect to SHOULD NOT for route-over and MAY for
      mesh-under. (#130)

      o Changed the 16-bit lifetimes to a unit of 60 seconds (#131)

      o Added text to Section 5.4.2 adding a receive-only state to
      context entries that timeout. (#132)

> Abstract:
> The IETF 6LoWPAN working group defines IPv6 over Low-power Wireless
> Personal Area Networks such as IEEE 802.15.4.  This and other similar
> link technologies have limited or no usage of multicast signaling due
> to energy conservation.  In addition, the wireless network may not
> strictly follow traditional concept of IP subnets and IP links.  IPv6
> Neighbor Discovery was not designed for non-transitive wireless
> links.  The traditional IPv6 link concept and heavy use of multicast
> make the protocol inefficient and sometimes impractical in a low
> power and lossy network.  This document describes simple
> optimizations to IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, addressing mechanisms and
> duplicate address detection for 6LoWPAN and similar networks.
