Hi all

This draft is the merge of draft-dejean-roll-selective-dis and draft-goyal-roll-defunct-dags. Both drafts proposed specification of a "No Inconsistency" flag in DIS that allows the routers to not reset their trickle timers even if the DIS is sent via multicast. The merged draft includes the other key specifications of the selective DIS draft:

1. A new Response Spreading option to spread the DIO responses in a desired time interval.
2. Allow the inclusion of a metric container in the DIS to specify the constraints that the responding routers must satisfy.

The merged draft specifies another DIS flag to request either unicast or multicast DIOs.

The specified flags and options are useful for at least the following two applications: 
1) a leaf node joining a dag with desired characteristics at a desired position.
2) a node identifying defunct dags it belongs to.

Comments are welcome.

Thanks
Mukul
