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)
