Hi Yatch, here an example,
assume we have a fancy SF (named SFz) that requires to configure certain timeouts in a certain manner. Consider that this configuration cannot be deployed statically or pre-shared as it may depend on the app requirements, node rank or can be varying in time. When a node in that network starts, joins through minimal and minimal-security and the SFz needs to start allocating cells, before however, it needs to configure the timeouts to meet the application requirements in that node. Using the SIGNAL command with an IE that is defined by the SFz document, two nodes will be able to install the configuration. In detail, node A is time source of Node B. Assume Node B joins and the SFz sends a SIGNAL command to Node A with the timeout configuration for the link. Node B verifies the content of the received SFz IE in the SIGNAL command and sends back a Response confirming the configuration. If all worked both nodes install the configuration. do you think makes sense? regards, Xavi 2017-07-19 22:30 GMT+02:00 Yasuyuki Tanaka <[email protected]>: > Xavi, > > That sounds interesting. > > Could you share any example what kind of configuration will be conveyed in > a Signal Request and/or Response? > > Best, > Yatch > > On 2017/07/19 19:22, Xavi Vilajosana Guillen wrote: > >> Dear all, >> >> I would like to propose a new command to be used to the 6P Protocol.
