Overall this is a good document and I support its approval. A few items should be clarified before approval, please see below: 1. In the introduction: > In addition, IPv6 provides tools for autoconfiguration, which is particularly suitable for sensor network applications and nodes which have very limited processing power or a full-fledged operating system. Did you actually mean to say 'nodes which have very limited processing power or lack a full-fledged operating system'? Also - what do you exactly mean by tools for autoconfiguration - is this only about stateless IP-address autoconfiguration or (also) something else? 2. In Section 2.1 - GAP stands for Generic Access Profile (as in the text) or Generic Attribute Profile (as in the diagram)? 3. Section 2.3 we have > ' A Bluetooth Smart device such as a sensor may use a public (obtained from IEEE Registration Authority) ' and then in 3.2.1 > 'The 48-bit public bluetooth address is globally unique and provided by the IEEE registration authority.' These are slightly inaccurate. The individual addresses are not directly assigned by the IEEE-RA. This authority only assigns OUIs to vendors (first 24 bits of an address) which then are responsible on administrating their own space (the last 24 bit) to generate unique addresses. Actually another sentence in 2.3 gets it right when it says: > ' The public address is created according to the IEEE 802-2001 standard [IEEE802-2001] and using a valid Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) obtained from the IEEE Registration Authority. ' 4. I do not believe that the requirement to BT SIG for the allocation of an L2CAP channel ID needs to be mentioned in the IANA Considerations section as it has nothing to do with IANA.
