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.

Hi Qin,

Yes, for the given scenario, 3-step transaction is needed.

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.

Seema

Hi Seema and Satish,

Thank you for your comments. We will correct the tpyo you mentioned.

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?

Thanks
Qin

Hello Satish,

I agree with the example you have given, both the nodes get equal opportunity. 
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?

Thanks,
Seema

Hello Seema Kumar,
I would like to express my idea for 3-step 6P transaction :
Let us consider a case when requester send candidate list along with NumCells 
to neighboring node during 6P ADDRequest.
1.      node A (Requester) in Step.2 send the candidate list to Node B(Neighbor 
node).
2.      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.

Subject: [6tisch] Doubts in 3-step transactions mentioned in 
draft-wang-6tisch-6top-protocol-00

Dear All,

I have few comments with respect to the draft-wang-6tisch-6top-protocol-00.

1) The draft includes 3-step transaction described in Section. 4.1.1, for 
negotiation of cells between two neighbours. 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.

Seema Kumar
