6LoWPAN (6LoRH) [I-D.thubert-6lo-routing-dispatch] defines a method
to compress RPL Option information and Routing Header type 3

This document is in part motivated by the work that is ongoing at the
6TiSCH working group. The 6TiSCH architecture
[I-D.ietf-6tisch-architecture] draft explains the network
architecture of a 6TiSCH network. This architecture is used for the
remainder of this document.
The scope of the 6TiSCH Architecture is a Backbone Link that
federates multiple LLNs (mesh) as a single IPv6 Multi-Link Subnet.
Each LLN in the subnet is anchored at a Backbone Router (6BBR). The
Backbone Routers interconnect the LLNs over the Backbone Link and
emulate that the LLN nodes are present on the Backbone thus creating
a so-called: Multi-Link Subnet. An LLN node can move freely from an
LLN anchored at a Backbone Router to another LLN anchored at the same
or a different Backbone Router inside the Multi-Link Subnet and
conserve its addresses.

7. IANA Considerations 7. Future RPL work
There are cases from above that are not clear how to send the
information. It requires furhter analysis on how to proceed to send
the information from source to destination.
From the above cases, we have in storing mode:
- Flow from RPL-aware-leaf to non-RPL-aware-leaf: Somehow, the sender
has to know that the receiver is not RPL aware, and needs to know
6LR, and not even the root knows where the 6LR is located.
- Flow from not-RPL-aware-leaf to not-RPL-aware-leaf: The problem to
solve is how to indicate where to send the packet when get into LLN.
