Subject: [LOOPS] Fwd: [6lo] Last Call: <draft-ietf-6lo-fragment-recovery-08.txt> (6LoWPAN Selective Fragment Recovery) to Proposed Standard

Fragment recovery is an approach that is somewhat related to LOOPS:
On a challenged segment of the path (a 6LoWPAN mesh where larger packets need to be fragmented and thus are subject to exponentiation of delivery rates), a local recovery scheme is run.
I think it is interesting to see how the various objectives of LOOPS are addressed in this limited context.
(Also, an IETF last call is always a good reason to have a final look at a document that is proposed to progress.)

Grüße, Carsten
