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
