That ultra cool Rahul. I published 05 that addresses Thomas’ comments ☺
And yes, there’s a lot more than forwarding fragments blindly. Take care, Pascal From: 6tisch [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rahul Jadhav Sent: jeudi 6 avril 2017 15:40 To: Carsten Bormann <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected]; lo <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [6tisch] [6lo] Thomas' review of draft-thubert-6lo-forwarding-fragments-04 Hi Carsten, Currently I m reassembling hop by hop. Problem begins with initial auth session itself!! I use PANA for network access in single channel (with no RDC) mesh and the payload in most PANA messages crosses 127B (especially considering the relay header overhead),,, its all unicast with MAC layer ACK. None of my mcast packets cross MTU boundary. Also an imp point is that the buffer space is only for one IPv6 datagram (i.e. 1280B). Some of the problems highlighted by Pascal such as, fragments getting discarded prematurely for e.g. because of high node density causing reception from different peers is hurting the end to end msg transmission badly. The failure rate and thus the retransmission rate at app is very high,, so much that we had to adopt a proprietary compressed PANA signalling mechanism to improve convergence time.

Hi Rahul, please explain some more. What kind of problem do you experience? Is the load on your network predominantly composed of packets > 127 B? Are you using MAC-layer ACK? Do the problems you are seeing occur with Unicast or with Multicast? Are you already using fragment forwarding or are you reassembling hop by hop? Grüße, Carsten
