Hello Kiran

Note that the core of the work is an autoconfiguration model along a fixed tree 
structure, and the desired “side effects” are implicit routing and short 
addresses. For short addresses, we already have SCHC and 6LoWPAN so that would 
not be a sufficient argument.
Now, I do not see how your point on IIoT matches this specification. Since a 
main objection (though not the only one) is the lack of applicability, this may 
help. Could you please elaborate?
In particular, which industrial protocol would benefit from this automatic 
assignment of IP addresses (vs. Say, mapping the protocol address into an IID 
or something)?

Many thanks in advance;

Pascal

Hello,
I have quickly skimmed through the document and would like to see this work 
progress.

I see that the focus is mainly on wireless constrained devices, however, in 
industrial networks with field devices it is useful to have short and variable 
addressing schemes on a factory floor. Variable addressing approach is more 
interesting here because, on one side the controllers may use IPv6 addresses 
and field-devices on the other end can very well be shorter addresses.

I support this document and wouldn't mind contributing to the alignment with 
above mentioned scenario.


Cheers,

Kiran
