Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8928, RFC 8929, RFC 9010, RFC 9685, RFC 9926. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This specification updates RFC 6775 -- the Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) Neighbor Discovery specification -- to clarify the role of the protocol as a registration technique and simplify the registration operation in 6LoWPAN routers, as well as to provide enhancements to the registration capabilities and mobility detection for different network topologies, including the Routing Registrars performing routing for host routes and/or proxy Neighbor Discovery in a low-power network.
