- Project Goals: The 6LoWPAN-ND (RFCs 4944, 6775, and 8505) is a replacement for IPv6 DAD and NDP for 6LoWPAN networks, and it is important to ensure address uniqueness across a network that can potentially use different MAC/PHY layers. There is a model for 6LoWPAN-ND, but it is still not merged in the main ns-3 branch. The goal is to clean up the implementation, remove an actual limitation due to a questionable assumption, and to add the support for multi-hop operations (EDAR and EDAC messages).

Milestones
Phase 1: Code Cleanup + Implementation with 6LBR and 6LN
Phase 2: Implementation of EDAR/EDAC messages for multi-hop DAD
Readings
RFC4861 Neighbor Discovery for IP version 6 (IPv6)
RFC6775 Neighbor Discovery Optimization for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs)
RFC8505 Registration Extensions for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) Neighbor Discovery
RFC5175 IPv6 Router Advertisement Flags Option
Is 6LoWPAN-ND necessary? (Spoiler alert: Yes)
