Hi, In draft (draft-ietf-6lowpan-usecases-05), in section 3.4.1 in the home automation usecase section it is stated that the communication scenario is mostly tied between host and sinks(ER and LC) placed inside lowPAN. Does this apply to smart energy application mentioned in the draft such as DR, DSM, Peak energy pricing? If all home automation communication endpoints related to appliances are placed inside the LowPAN, then how does these functions take place(DSM, DR, Peak energy pricing).
Is it assumed that DR takes place by device sending load requirement to LC/ER and then ER sending collected demand information of multiple devices to the utlity. If the draft can clearly explain these it is more useful. Also what is the benefit of having such sink in architecture for the energy management applications? Why not avoid such sinks? Thanks.
