> Technical Summary
> 
>   This document describes the minimal set of rules to run IPv6 over
>   an IEEE 802.15.4 Timeslotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) network, 
>   including the operation of the RPL routing protocol and the
>   procedures to forward packets using a static schedule of shared 
>   time slots in a slotted-aloha fashion.
> 
> Working Group Summary
> 
>  Like for the other 6TiSCH documents, it took a long time and great
>  care to achieve consensus on the security piece. Considering the
>  complexity (and issues) in IEEE802.15.4-2011, the group decided
>  to provide reference examples of how the MAC can be set in order to 
>  achieve interoperability. 
> 
>  Though MAC level messages are widely discussed and many references
>  to undated IEEE802.15.4 specs are made, and apart from a particular
>  problem with the IEEE802.15.4e spec that has to be treated in 
>  section 4, the example section 11 is the only place in the document that
>  has dated IEEE references. 
> 
> The rest of the document uses undated references so it is preserved 
>  through future backward compatible updates of IEEE802.15.4. 
> 
>  The draft was the subject to an ETSI PlugTest and the Hackathon in Prague.
>  4 different implementation on multiple platforms and OSes were tested.
> 
> Document Quality

> 
>  There are 3 different open source implementations, Contiki, TinyOS 
>  and Open WSN. Multiple derivatives of Open WSN are also available
>  and were confronted at the ETSI PlugTest in Prague. There are 
>  also shipping products in the AMI/AMR domain (Wi-NAN) that operate 
>  in pre-standard variations of this work and we expect them
>  to move to the standard version at some point of time.
>  There were also discussions on how IEEE specs should be
>  referenced; the authors followed the best practices obtained
>  from multiple parties, including the RFC editor and the
>  IEEE-IETF coordination, of using undated references whenever possible.
