Hi, my 2 cents.
4) minimal defines when EBs are sent and what information from the wide set of options (IEs) provided by 15.4 TSCH is sent in an EB. 5) it defines the specific 15.4 header settings so 2 nodes can talk together and establish an initial configuration without discarding frames from one and another. 6) it defines the number of security keys that are needed. 7) it defines how the routing information is used to hint the network structure. That is, how the join priority is used to match the routing topology. 8) it defines the default number, default slot-offset, channel offset of the cells in the schedule of all nodes in a 6tisch network so the network can be easily initiated. It also defines the default timing of the slots and the default slotframe length, etc.. Without that, 2 vendors can be running 15.4e but chances are that they do not interoperate. The ETSI/6TiSCH plugtest event corroborated the need of such specification so vendors are able to easily interoperate. kind regards, Xavi 2015-11-30 18:43 GMT+01:00 Pascal Thubert (pthubert) <[email protected]>: > Dear all: > > I created that issue to follow up on whether standard track is really the > intention for this document or, as Suresh and Brian suggest, we would > explore an alternative, BCP or informational. > At the call, there was a sense that informational was not the right path, > and that std track was slightly preferred.
