Sorry for the following code, because my outlook is Chinese version,
please see inline straight.
Thanks

[qinxia] SMC is used for network management in 16d, we may ignore it in 16e,
RA could be transported over general connection.

[qinxia] It is odd to indicate address configuration via REG-RSP such Layer
2 signaling, IMHO, I do not think that there is any requirement to adopt
other method to inform address configuration. RA is enough.
