[DNA] Issue 3: Do we need landmark Y/N bit?
Issue: The current text doesn't use the 'N' bit - because we don't want
to waste space on the RA including a No response. The same functionality
of 'Y' bit can be achieved by just including the landmark prefix in a
PIO or a LPO.
Agreement at the meeting: We remove the Y/N bits from the landmark. This
changes the semantics of a landmark in the RS from a question to just a
statement, the host includes a prefix in the RS to let the router know
which link it thinks it is currently on - the router confirms it by
responding with a RA containing the same prefix or informs the host that
its thinking is wrong by sending a RA not including the particular
prefix, but with as much information as possible for the host to
reconfigure itself.
Any objections to the change?
