The IESG has approved the following document: - '6LoWPAN Routing Header' (draft-ietf-roll-routing-dispatch-05.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Routing Over Low power and Lossy networks Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-roll-routing-dispatch/ Technical Summary This specification introduces a new 6LoWPAN dispatch type for use in 6LoWPAN Route-Over topologies, that initially covers the needs of RPL (RFC6550) data packets compression. Using this dispatch type, this specification defines a method to compress RPL Option (RFC6553) information and Routing Header type 3 (RFC6554), an efficient IP-in- IP technique and is extensible for more applications. Working Group Summary The document started life in 6lo as part of another document. ROLL WG members participated greatly during the initial work on the document, providing motivation for why the work was important. Once the document was split up, this part returned to the ROLL WG for publication. No concerns, the document had good support. Document Quality The document contains a generous introduction appropriate for a reader who is unfamiliar with the why. There has been enough review, including from the INT Directorate.
