Title: Re: draft-gundavelli-v6ops-l2-unicast WGLC

In case people haven’t had time to read the whole draft, the key standards track change to existing RFC’s is:

“An IPv6 receiver node SHOULD NOT drop a received IPv6 multicast 
 message containing a multicast destination address in the IPv6
 header, but with a unicast destination address in the link-layer
 header, withstanding all other validity considerations as
 specified in the relevant IPv6 standards specifications.”

“An IPv6 sender node MAY choose to transmit an IPv6 multicast
 message as a link-layer unicast message.”

We are looking specifically for comments on the importance of the document as well as its content. If you have read the document and believe it to be of operational utility, that is also an important comment to make.
