That is exactly right, Qin.

Hi Pascal,

What you say is that the RPL parents list should be in RPL data model (YANG 
model), and 6top data model only includes the parent used as time source. 
Right? It really makes sense to me.

Thanks
Qin

Hello Qin:

A node has a list of RPL parents per RPL instance. But that’s a RPL problem and 
we probably need a RPL data model to be done at ROLL.
OTOH, there is one (or more?) RPL instance that is used for 6TiSCH timing. I 
think all we need in 6top is an information of which RPL instance(s) is (are) 
used for timing and hten the admin can read the RPL info about that instance in 
the RPL data model.

Does that make sense?

Hi Michael,

NeighborList contains the Link information, and the information about Parent is 
contained in TimeSource for saving space. Make sense?

Thanks
Qin

1) I was reading draft-ietf-6tisch-6top-interface-03.

  references that document.

I was looking for the description of the neighbour list that the PCE
would need to know in order to construct the desired tracks.
(The indenting of the YANG model is very inconsistent; I could pull the
XML off of bitbucket, and run it through an indenter if the authors wished)

I think that the information that I want about neighbours is:
  list NeighborList { ... }.

I think that if we have received an RPL DIO from that neighbour that
we ought to show it's rank in that Neighborlist. I think that we ought
to also indicate if that neighbour is *the* parent, and or if it is
potential parent.

We might want to go further and say WHY the indicated parent was actually
chosen: but I think that this might be difficult to code in a vendor
independant way.  I propose that we still do this, but allow the code
to be vendor dependant.
