Re: [savi] A few comments on draft-vogt-savi-framework

Dong -

Your recollection is correct; the Framework document should and will
include the properties of, and the relationship between, the various IP
address assignment methods.  Section 3.1 in the current Framework
document version is a placeholder for this.  Text for this section is
still to be added, as noted in the document.  And yes, this text shall
cover not only SLAAC and DHCP, but also SEND and manual IP address
configuration.
