 The IESG has approved the following document:
- '6TiSCH Operation Sublayer Protocol (6P)'
  (draft-ietf-6tisch-6top-protocol-12.txt) as Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the IPv6 over the TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e
Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Suresh Krishnan and Terry Manderson.

Technical Summary

  This document defines the 6top Protocol (6P), which enables
  distributed scheduling in 6TiSCH networks.  6P allows neighbor nodes
  to add/delete TSCH cells to one another.  6P is part of the 6TiSCH
  Operation Sublayer (6top), the next higher layer to the IEEE Std
  802.15.4 TSCH medium access control layer.  The 6P layer is formed by
  the 6top Protocol defined in this document and 6top Scheduling
  Function(s).  A 6top Scheduling Function (SF) decides when to add/
  delete cells, and triggers 6P Transactions.  This document lists the
  requirements for an SF, but leaves the definition of SFs out of
  scope.

Working Group Summary


This document was not controversial. The design was complex due to the need to 
save exchanges and yet provide transactional outcomes.
The next generation of the work may be done at IEEE, e.g. within IEEE Std. 
802.12

Document Quality

This specification was implemented in openWSN and contiki.
It was interop tested at the 6TiSCH F-interop in Prague:
http://www.etsi.org/news-events/events/1197-6tisch-interop-prague-2017
Return from experimentation is implemented in the draft

Personnel

Pascal Thubert is the Document Shepherd. Suresh Krishnan is the Responsible 
Area Director.
