I compiled the proposed changes in an early publication https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-6lo-minimal-fragment-13 Let's see below for the details: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > COMMENT: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > As I reviewed draft-ietf-6lo-fragment-recovery before this document, I put > some COMMENTs in my review of draft-ietf-6lo-fragment-recovery that also > apply to this document. > Yes, the first comment applies here too: > -- Section 4.2 and Section 7.1 -- > Should default values for the inter-frame gap be given ? This is related to a point in Ben's review. It's really dependent on the MAC technology, PHY speed, number of retries (channel occupancy) , and application. Quoting myself (he he) We never know when the next hop will send, it may be busy with a queue of other packets. So there's always a risk unless you schedule like you could with 6TiSCH. Also a TSCH technology will protect against the hidden terminal but a single channel mesh must let the fragment go farther away. So it's like the proverbial time it takes for the canon to cool down.:"Enough time". So I cannot be more precise that: for TSCH, allow the next hop to forward; for single channel mesh, several times that because the frame must progress out of interference range. "Enough time" can be expressed as what's needed for a packet to " progress beyond the next hop and beyond the interference domain before the next shows up.

See my reply to you and Ben, the order is not really important in general though it plays a role in the recovery because the retries are in order. > > == NITS == > > Is the case in "Link-Layer" correct? I am a non native speaker but I would have > used "link-layer". I have no idea : ) I'm used to uppercasing because of the SLLAO so I do it all the time. I do not mind at all changing all. Maybe the RFC editor knows better?*Gain, many thanks Eric! Pascal _______________________________________________ 6lo mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lo
