The IESG has received a request from the Routing Over Low power and Lossy networks WG (roll) to consider the following document: - 'Controlling Network Enrollment in RPL networks' <draft-ietf-roll-enrollment-priority-18.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2026-08-06. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) manages the routing topology but lacks a mechanism to globally regulate how many new nodes, known as Pledges, can join a node in a 6TiSCH network at any given time. Currently, Join Proxies (6LowPAN Routers) make local decisions about whether to facilitate a Pledge's enrollment based only on their immediate resources. This document introduces RPL extensions to ensure that enrollment remains orderly, prevents localized congestion at specific Join Proxies, and allows the network to stay within its operational capacity limits. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-roll-enrollment-priority/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
