Hello Qin and Seema, I would like to clarify one question in 3-step transaction.
1. Let’s think that the “requester” send the NumCells with empty candidate list in 6PADDRequest during step. 1. 2. Subsequently, neighboring node send 6PADDResponse with candidate list in Step.2. 3. If requester doesn’t have free cells available with the candidate list of neighboring node then how will requester handle the operation? (This case may be possible when requester is handling multiple interfaces with multiple instances) 4. Will requester send the 6PADDRequest again to neighboring node for new cell list? With Regards, Satish.

In the draft, 2-step transaction is like source initiated protocol and 3-step is receiver initiated protocol. Do you think mentioning something like this, will clarify the meaning of sending an empty candidate cell list in the first step of 3-step transaction.

Regarding to 3-step transaction, let me explain the motivation behind it. Assume node A is a Child of node B, then usually node B has more knowledge about the cell usage, right? But sometime, the Child may find the need to ADD more cells. In this case, the Child will take 3-step transaction to send ADD request to its parent (node B). For this scenario, what do you think about the the 3-step transaction proposed in the draft?

But, I don't think there is a provision in the current draft to propose the candidate list in the first step of a 3-step transaction. With my understanding, the only differentiation between 2-steps and 3-steps model is who proposes the candidate list. Whatever the reason is for a 3-step transaction model, I foresee the problem I mentioned in my previous email (Point 3 of my previous mail). Do you have any comments on it?

If Node B has not all the cells available from candidate list of Node A then Node B can add some cells in Candidate cells during 6P response to node A(step .3). 3. In step.4, Node A can send the 6P confirmation to node B with scheduled cells. With this operation, both node A and node B will have equal opportunity to suggest their best available channels. What do you think ? With Regards, Satish.

In step 4 of 3-step transaction, there is a mistake. “The SF running on node B selects 2 cells” is written. It should have been “The SF running on node A selects 2 cells". 2) In 3-step transaction, the requester only specifies number of cells, and the candidate list is not specified by the requester. I assume, the neighbouring node is free to choose the candidate list. When requester sends empty list, what is the motivation behind the neighbouring node sending the candidate list in second step of 3-step transaction ? Is it because the requester has better knowledge about the cell quality, and therefore can pick the right ones ? 3) In the 3-step transaction, I foresee a problem when there are concurrent requests from different neighbours. Regarding concurrent requests, the draft-wang-6tisch-6top-protocol-00 says “A node MAY support concurrent 6P Transactions from different neighbors” in Section 4.3.3. A node would reply BUSY to requester only when it does not have enough resources. Problem: In the topology specified in the draft, consider node B and C requires 2 cells each from node A. Node A has 4 or more cells. The SF chooses 3-step transaction. NumCells = 2,[] Step 1: B -------------------------> A [(1,2),(2,2),(3,5),(4,6)] Step 2: B <------------------------- A NumCells = 2, [] Step 3: A <------------------ C At this step, if Node A specifies [(1,2),(2,2),(3,5),(4,6)] as candidate list, there will be problem if both Node B and C choose same cells. What should Node A do at this point ? This problem would not arise in 2-step transaction. Currently, if SF0 is used, node A would specify [(1,2),(2,2),(3,5),(4,6)] as candidate list. Am I right? Then the problem mentioned above would occur. In my opinion, there is no need for specifying the candidate list in step 2 of 3-step transaction. When requester is not particular about cells, the neighbouring node can give any 2 cells instead of again asking the requester to choose.
