Abstract:
   Considering that an LLN link-layer frame can have a payload below 100
   bytes, an IPv6 packet might be fragmented more than 10 fragments at
   the 6LoWPAN layer.  In a 6LoWPAN mesh-under mesh network, the
   fragments can be forwarded individually across the mesh, whereas a
   route-over mesh network, a fragmented 6LoWPAN packet must be
   reassembled at every hop, which causes latency and congestion.  This
   draft introduces a simple protocol to forward individual fragments
   across a route-over mesh network, and, regardless of the type of
   mesh, recover the loss of individual fragments across the mesh and
   protect the network against bloat with a minimal flow control.

Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
