Dear 6lowpaners, The draft of 6lowpan routing requirements are revised to -04, applying the comments at the meeting. JP worries the term *routing* in adaptation layer, and Eric gave us a good terminology to use there. Now you will find the description under the figure to reduce the confusion between "IP routing" and "mesh-under path computation + forwarding". :-)
I would like to point out again that the figure is to show the basic architecture based on RFC4944 and WG concensus so far. Please check the revised version and give your comments. -eunah ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: IETF I-D Submission Tool <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 5:57 PM Subject: New Version Notification for draft-ietf-6lowpan-routing-requirements-04 To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] A new version of I-D, draft-ietf-6lowpan-routing-requirements-04.txt has been successfuly submitted by Eunsook Kim and posted to the IETF repository. Filename: draft-ietf-6lowpan-routing-requirements Revision: 04 Title: Problem Statement and Requirements for 6LoWPAN Routing Creation_date: 2009-07-28 WG ID: 6lowpan Number_of_pages: 32 Abstract: 6LoWPANs are formed by devices that are compatible with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. However, neither the IEEE 802.15.4 standard nor the 6LoWPAN format specification define how mesh topologies could be obtained and maintained. Thus, it should be considered how 6LoWPAN formation and multi-hop routing could be supported. This document provides the problem statement and design space for 6LoWPAN routing. It defines the routing requirements for 6LoWPAN networks, considering the low-power and other particular characteristics of the devices and links. The purpose of this document is not to recommend specific solutions, but to provide general, layer-agnostic guidelines about the design of 6LoWPAN routing, which can lead to further analysis and protocol design. This document is intended as input to groups working on routing protocols relevant to 6LoWPAN, such as the IETF ROLL WG.
