Ian, all,



Ian, thanks a lot for your fast reply and detailed commenting on the 
"6LoWPAN Mesh Routing Requirements" draft 
[http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-dokaspar-6lowpan-routreq-00.txt]. 
I'm taking the right to post this answer to both the 6lowpan and MANET 
working groups, as MANET folks might be interested in this discussion as 
well.



Ian, I find your inputs very reasonable, but they made me feel that the term 
"6lowpan" is not yet defined precisely enough to set up a strict set of 
6lowpan routing requirements. For example, you give me the scenario of a 
6lowpan network, in which all devices are powered and power usage is not 
important. But if I read the "6lowpan Problem Statement" 
[http://tools.ietf.org/wg/6lowpan/draft-ietf-6lowpan-problem], I'm not sure 
if such a set-up could still be called a 6lowpan, because that document 
explains that in a LoWPAN "typically, some or all devices are battery 
operated."



This draft's intention is to provide the primary design goals of 6lowpan 
mesh routing and to stimulate responses for defining a set of requirements. 
The requirements I listed are still as vague as the term "6lowpan" itself, 
not at all proven and not fixed yet. I will keep all of your detailed 
comments on the requirements in mind for a next revision. Also, it has 
already been my intention to include a Section about what exactly the 
differences are between routing in a MANET and in a LoWPAN.



Best regards,

Dominik

I would like to caution against designing the mesh routing protocols
from the top down, without paying careful attention to what the MAC
sub-layer will look like.  In principle, from a strict
layer-separationist perspective, it shouldn't matter.  In practice, when
some devices will be running at 100% duty cycle, and (most?) others will
be constrained to run at 0.1% duty cycle, it makes all the difference.
LQI is certainly important, but 1000x difference in available bandwidth
on different links is even more important, and *must* drive the design
of higher layers if they are to be efficient.
We have seen the results of traditional networking applied to this new
class of hardware platform, and they are entertaining, academically
interesting, and commercially disastrous.
I'm a newbie to IETF, so forgive me if I'm missing some key information,
but as I see it we have come up with a reasonable format for IPv6 over
15.4 when the radios are on.  The next step should be to figure out when
the radios turn on, how they avoid interference, how they
learn/announce/enforce their duty cycles, etc.  Once that's done, or at
least roughed out, then a rational discussion of routing can take place.

Ian, all,



Ian, thanks a lot for your fast reply and detailed commenting on the=20
"6LoWPAN Mesh Routing Requirements" draft=20
[http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-dokaspar-6lowpan-routreq-00.t

I'm taking the right to post this answer to both the 6lowpan and MANET=20
working groups, as MANET folks might be interested in this discussion as

well.



Ian, I find your inputs very reasonable, but they made me feel that the
term=20
"6lowpan" is not yet defined precisely enough to set up a strict set of=20
6lowpan routing requirements. For example, you give me the scenario of a

6lowpan network, in which all devices are powered and power usage is not

important. But if I read the "6lowpan Problem Statement"=20
[http://tools.ietf.org/wg/6lowpan/draft-ietf-6lowpan-problem], I'm not
sure=20
if such a set-up could still be called a 6lowpan, because that document=20
explains that in a LoWPAN "typically, some or all devices are battery=20
operated."



This draft's intention is to provide the primary design goals of 6lowpan

mesh routing and to stimulate responses for defining a set of
requirements.=20
The requirements I listed are still as vague as the term "6lowpan"
itself,=20
not at all proven and not fixed yet. I will keep all of your detailed=20
comments on the requirements in mind for a next revision. Also, it has=20
already been my intention to include a Section about what exactly the=20
differences are between routing in a MANET and in a LoWPAN.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
This draft is a work item of the IPv6 over Low power WPAN Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Transmission of IPv6 Packets over IEEE 802.15.4 Networks
	Author(s)	: G. Montenegro, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-6lowpan-format-11.txt
	Pages		: 31
	Date		: 2007-3-2
	
This document describes the frame format for transmission of IPv6
   packets and the method of forming IPv6 link-local addresses and
   statelessly autoconfigured addresses on IEEE 802.15.4 networks.
   Additional specifications include a simple header compression scheme
   using shared context and provisions for packet delivery in IEEE
   802.15.4 meshes.

We need to settle on an agenda for the upcoming meeting.  I think that
everything is progressing with our two drafts - Thanks to Gabriel for
making the last minute editorial fixes.

As I've mentioned on the list a number of times, we are finished with
the items in our charter - but certainly not finished with the work to
be done.  If we are going to take on some new tasks we need to recharter
for those.

Here is the complete list of topics that have been suggested on this
list (in no particular order):

Neighbor Discovery and Secure Neighbor Discovery (proposed standard)
Stateful header compression (informational)
6lowpan applications (informational)
mesh routing (proposed standard)
Security analysis (informational)
bootstrapping
mobility
MIB definition
service discovery
scalable routing
commissioning
power saving schemes (beacons)
Architecture document


I see at least 2 very important topics that we need to finish -
  * Neighbor Discovery for 6lowpan
  * 6lowpan architecture document

Additionally, we need to reach some consensus on:
  * Routing (scalable, mesh under, route over)
  * Security
  * bootstrapping/commissioning

Since we already have a draft (expired) for ND we should seriously
consider finishing this work.  We are have a number of drafts (also
expired) and one not expired on routing alternatives.

I think that the main topic for the meeting is the rechartering, but I
think that it is extremely important that we talk with the Manet group
and understand if their work can apply to 6lowpans.

This understanding though may be based on the network architecture that
we are trying to build.  This is why I think that we should start with
defining the 6lowpan arch.

Please provide input on this.

Agree.
I am submitting the updated version of ND draft before the cut-off date.


Also submitting the updated version of lowpan-mobility requirement draft
for a reference point of discussion.

6lowpan architecture document is needed. Currently ND draft has some
assumption about the topology and architecture of 6lowpan. We can start
from there.

sounds like ZB network architecture ?

Geoff, thanks for your efforts,

I think this is a very good idea.
First of all, architecture work is most important here,
since there 6lowpan architecture is not yet defined precisely enough
(e.g, how dynamic, how mobile, how secure, how many nodes and what at
density ?, etc. ) to take on new tasks below.

Most new tasks seem to be dependent on how to define the 6lowpan
architecture, I guess.

So, I'd like to suggest we need to define 6lowpan architecture first,
including design goals and requrements for each new task.

I also think it is important that we talk with the MANET WG and know if
their work can apply to 6lowpans and what can't be done with MANET
protocols.

Regards,
Myung-Ki,

Kris, Ian, 
 
The "6LoWPAN Mesh Routing Requirements" draft 
[http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-dokaspar-6lowpan-routreq-00.txt] was written 
based on cautioning against some discussion of designing routing protocols for 6lowpan.
We think the first step is to mull over the differences from manet work, from the routing perspective.
I think it is very important to clarify of the design goals and requirements of 6lowpan routing,
before discussing detail solution space.
 
In this point of view, I'm happy to see your comments and consideration of this work. 
I don't think we are ready to build up specification of 6lowpan routing protocols 
when we are not sure how much we can use Manet protocols;
if 6lowpan may use 100% of pure manet protocols or may need major changes of them.
That's why I would like to suggest to take some time to think of
our goals and requirement in routing. 
 
The current version of the "6LoWPAN Mesh Routing Requirements" draft doesn't fill up
the chapter 5, "Analysis of Existing Mesh Routing Candidates". 
I think this is important job to do in 6lowpan.
We will see if we really need to define 6lowpan routing protocols or not.
If we find the answer that we can use manet works, we don't need to consider seperate routing solution.
 
I wish we could have nice discussion about more of fundamental points of 6lowpan routing in this meeting, instead of details.

Subject: RE: [6lowpan] For comments: 6LoWPAN Mesh Routing Requirements 




I would like to caution against designing the mesh routing protocols 
from the top down, without paying careful attention to what the MAC 
sub-layer will look like.  In principle, from a strict 
layer-separationist perspective, it shouldn't matter.  In practice, when 
some devices will be running at 100% duty cycle, and (most?) others will 
be constrained to run at 0.1% duty cycle, it makes all the difference. 
LQI is certainly important, but 1000x difference in available bandwidth 
on different links is even more important, and *must* drive the design 
of higher layers if they are to be efficient. 
We have seen the results of traditional networking applied to this new 
class of hardware platform, and they are entertaining, academically 
interesting, and commercially disastrous. 
I'm a newbie to IETF, so forgive me if I'm missing some key information, 
but as I see it we have come up with a reasonable format for IPv6 over 
15.4 when the radios are on.  The next step should be to figure out when 
the radios turn on, how they avoid interference, how they 
learn/announce/enforce their duty cycles, etc.  Once that's done, or at 
least roughed out, then a rational discussion of routing can take place.

Ian, all, 



Ian, thanks a lot for your fast reply and detailed commenting on the 
"6LoWPAN Mesh Routing Requirements" draft 
[http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-dokaspar-6lowpan-routreq-00.t 
xt]. 
I'm taking the right to post this answer to both the 6lowpan and MANET 
working groups, as MANET folks might be interested in this discussion as 

well. 



Ian, I find your inputs very reasonable, but they made me feel that the 
term 
"6lowpan" is not yet defined precisely enough to set up a strict set of 
6lowpan routing requirements. For example, you give me the scenario of a 

6lowpan network, in which all devices are powered and power usage is not 

important. But if I read the "6lowpan Problem Statement" 
[http://tools.ietf.org/wg/6lowpan/draft-ietf-6lowpan-problem], I'm not 
sure 
if such a set-up could still be called a 6lowpan, because that document 
explains that in a LoWPAN "typically, some or all devices are battery 
operated." 



This draft's intention is to provide the primary design goals of 6lowpan 

mesh routing and to stimulate responses for defining a set of 
requirements. 
The requirements I listed are still as vague as the term "6lowpan" 
itself, 
not at all proven and not fixed yet. I will keep all of your detailed 
comments on the requirements in mind for a next revision. Also, it has 
already been my intention to include a Section about what exactly the 
differences are between routing in a MANET and in a LoWPAN. 



Best regards, 

Dominik

I have some concerns to discuss of details of routing for 6lowpan.
As Geoff mentioned, 6lowpan needs to define its basic architecture first.
Routing solution can be followed based on the space of the defining architecture.

[http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-dokaspar-6lowpan-routreq-00.txt]  describes 
the design goals and requirements of 6lowpan routing, and it suggests to do some
analysis of existing mesh routing candidates. 
We could decide if we need details of routing solutions or not, based on the analysis.

I have my two thumbs-up for your suggestion to start with defining the 6lowpan arch.
While I have been approaching 6lowpan work from routing perspective,
I strongly felt that we need architecture, framework, specific requirements for 6lowpan beforehand of all details. 

I would like to happily involve this work, if there is any space to fill up. :-)

>Additionally, we need to reach some consensus on: 
>  * Routing (scalable, mesh under, route over) 
>  * Security 
>  * bootstrapping/commissioning 

In terms of routing, I would like to suggest to have the same approach with Arch. work.
We need to think more fundamental perspective for routing before going further to the details.

Thanks,

- eunsook

Seems the people in the MANEMO Mailing List are very interested in

I've been talking with a few folks about this rechartering effort and
how we are going to decide what tasks to take on next.

I'd like to propose that we filter our opportunities / options based
upon - What is it that is keeping us from demonstrating interoperability
of 6lowpan devices?

What do we need to tackle first so that we can show and build these
interoperable networks?

	geoff

Hi,

I'd like to point out the ongoing work on securing neighbor discovery
(draft-haddad-mipshop-optisend-02). We're planning to submit an updated
version to the 6lowpan WG once the new charter is approved.

Comments appreciated.


Regards,

Wassim H.

Wassim, 

Glad to see your activities in this space...:-)

I am digging SeND relevant text from the security-analysis draft:
http://daniel.vsix.net/ietf/6lowpan/draft-daniel-6lowpan-security-analysis-0
2.txt

   if NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) is applied to 6lowpan, SeND
   (Secure Neighbor Discovery) should be considered to provide security
   in conjunction with neighbor discovery protocol.  So far, CGA
   (Cryptographically Generated Addresses) [RFC3972] and SeND options
   [RFC3971] are newly designed by IETF and it works well over existing
   IP networks.  However, CGA seems very complex to be applied to
   6lowpan networks.  Furthermore, SeND options requires huge additional
   options (i.e., CGA option, RSA Signature option, Timestamp and Nonce
   option and etc.)  which increase the packet size accordingly.  Thus
   it is doubtful if Secure Neighbor Discovery protocol could be
   directly applicable to 6lowpan networks without any  optimization. 

We need further in-depth discussion here. Are you thinking
SeND can be applied for 6lowpan networks ? How much fatting
down SeND itself ? It seems interesting issue but also really
difficult aspect at the same time from the security point of view. 

Anyhow, I will go through your draft and get back to you with
more details soon. Also your comments are highly welcome.

Daniel

I truly agree with the need to come up with a 6lowpan architecture, that 
became the basis of our working group. Such draft should address the 
topology, architecture and 6lowpan devices. Is important to understand 
how can mesh devices, from as small as 4K of flash and 100s of bytes of 
RAM up to devices full capable of routing, sensing and acting. Should we 
consider in adopting some kind of addressing functions for the smaller 
devices? or as Ron Strich stated: "Should we make it easy for these 
simple protocol implementations at this level to adapt to 6lowpan? If we 
want to include these small devices, should we consider a more 
constrained design (limited payload, P2P/star only) that would simplify 
the adaptation layer?"
I think that in the near future 6lowpan networks will be a group of 
truly mesh devices, that will present different characteristics (i.e. 
power, memory and radio frequency) and therefore is important to create 
a stable 6lowpan framework, allowing the devices communication.
As Eunsook Kim i also would like to be involve, if possible, in such 
definition.

Pekka,
  You bring up some good points. I will attempt to clarify some of your
questions.

You question about switches does point to an overloaded term.  In that
particular paragraph the "switches" we are talking about are electrical
switches, as in light switches, not network switches.  We'll fix the
wording.

The reason we use the term personal area network is that it is the
industry term used for 802.15.4 networks.  I agree that these devices
are not "personal", but it is a nomenclature that we are stuck with by
the IEEE.

We did not address the security of underlying mesh network because we
have not yet defined that layer yet.  We are working with MANET to
define that and the security for the mesh would be addressed in that
document.  It was not germane to the format/adaptation header.

To you question about network management - again this document is about
the format and header encoding only.  Network management and security
will need to be addressed by a future 6lowpan management or 6lowpan ops
document.

We will look at the issues related to using header compression and
ipsec.

=> Agree. That's why it needs to be replaced with a lighter but at least
equally (if not better!) efficient mechanism and that's what OptiSEND
aims to provide.

=> Agree.

=> In few words (but more work is of course still needed), OptiSEND
consists on using CGA *only* at the beginning (i.e., attachment). The
CGA enables to derive a shared secret between the node and the AR,
which will be used to authenticate all ND messages (i.e., which also
means that all ND messages will go via the AR). One-way hash chain
are suggested to authenticate multicast Router Advertisement messages...

=> Thanks a lot! Comments highly appreciated.

FYI,
 
Many of you maybe already checked this, but want to share it for those who didn't have this info yet.
MANET wg folks include 6lowpan issue in their open discussion.
IMHO, it will be good to gather our opinion in 6lowpan and involve in MANET's open discussion.

I don't particularly like the term PAN applied to RF networks that are
not "Personal" but we are using the term from the RF platform where we
are directing these documents - IEEE 802.15.4 - "Part 15.4: Wireless
Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for
Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPANs)" and this is the
relevant document that we did reference. While I might prefer to use the
term "Premise Area Network" this would be confusing as it isn't the term
used for 802.15.4 networks.

I don't agree.  I think that we can build managed networks that also use
"zero conf".  I don't think that these two goals are at odds and that is
why we put them in the problem statement, so we would be reminded that
we need to build a solution that is manageable and still easy/simple to
install.

I'm not sure if you are referring the to format document or the problem
statement document here.  From my understanding the problem statement
document is not supposed to be defining the solutions - it isn't a
standards doc and security mechanisms are outside the scope of format
document since it is just defining a header encoding scheme to carry IP
over 802.15.4 frames.  It doesn't preclude the use of IPsec or some
other yet to be defined security protocol.  If there is a mesh network
layered under 6lowpan that document will need to define the security
used to protect the routing in the mesh.  If we are discussing what
devices may join a network that will need to be specified by the network
management document.

I'm not a technology expert in this area. 
But I'm VERY interested in how I can be winner against 
my competitors in my business and battle field. 
Energy saving is a vital factor for my business.

You think R2 seems to be a bad requirement. 
I revisited the R2: "R02: Shortest path calculation must 
be based on minimal energy usage." 
I'm very happy with R2.

Regarding your comment.. 
We have to define "energy aware routing protocol" first.

"a routing protocol that can handle sleeping nodes (and 
adapt quickly) and can be influenced by nodes 
willingness (maybe remaining battery)" seems to me that 
it is a kind of energy saving routing protocol.

How to save energy is a technical target to be achieved. 
R2 doesn't state any solution. 
Your idea and comment is ok to me if it is helpful for 
energy saving in routing operations. A new energy saving 
routing protocol also is ok to me. 

The only one that I want to ask you and sincere engineers is 
to give me an efficient routing protocol for energy saving. 
Then I can meet the TTM first. 
Brand-new one, adaptation or reuse is not an issue to me.

I REALLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SINCERE EFFORTS IN THIS AREA.

Regards, 
KIM, Yong-Woon

ps) 
I'm not a real salesman but was. 
I think so in my mind all the time while doing my R/D jobs.

I'd caution against just assuming that LQI will solve all single-hop =20
problems.

First, LQI is not clearly defined. Radios such as the CC2420 give =20
multiple hardware indicators of link quality. The "LQI" field that =20
the CC2420 provides, for example, is not an 802.15.4 LQI value; the =20
data sheet recommends that you use other values and factors to =20
determine link quality. I have yet to hear of a good (produces stable =20=

and accurate values) algorithm to compute an 802.15.4 LQI purely from =20=

hardware indicators.

For example, if you look at what current sensor net stacks do, they =20
essentially scale the LQI such that only very high SNR links are used =20=

(think >10dBm above threshold), leading to routes that are stable but =20=

are far from the shortest path.

Additionally, if you have analog interference sources, then you must =20
compute LQI bidirectionally. Otherwise, you may be able to receive =20
packets from a node but it cannot receive packets from you. This is =20
also a reason why protocols such as AODV run into big problems in =20
practice, unless you constrain communication to be over a =20
bidirectional mesh that you've established underneath IP. But that's =20
the hard part and the actual protocol problem to solve: once you have =20=

it, AODV and its ilk are fairly trivial.

Finally, applying LQI to routing decisions is difficult, given its =20
fairly vague specification in 802.15.4. One can imagine computing =20
minimum cost paths using LQI, but it would be good to see what those =20
calculations are like in practice, and how different 802.15.4 stacks, =20=

with their different LQI calculations, lead to different routing =20
performance based on the upper layers assumptions on its meaning.

All together, what this means is that mesh routing is almost =20
certainly needs to have network-level information in terms of link =20
quality, which it can use to make network-level routing decisions. It =20=

can use LQI as part of these decisions, but it is important to leave =20
the flexibility to incorporate other information as well.

Samita,

I think there is one requirement missing, which should state that 
"reduced-function devices" are not to be involved in any mobility related 
signaling.

Samita,

Good to see the requirements again.
I think mobility is one of the most important drivers for
6lowpan deployment.

Quick comments and questions -

Most of requirements seem to be related to scenarios, not to specific
mobility requirements.

Do you think handover-related signaling should be involved in 6lowpan
devices (e.g., "full-function devices")?  if so, reduction in
handover-related signaling should be also considered as one of
requirements.

How about "reduced-function devices" ?

So, do we need two different mobility mechanisms ?

 > o  A lowpan node in a isolated IEEE802.15.4 network that has no
 >   connectivity outside itself, does not require to have global IPv6
 >   address configuration.If the routing of packets are performed at
 >   the lowpan layer using M bit, then only link-local address
 >   configuration is sufficient.

Are routing protocols enough to support this scenario ?

Mapping from old address to new address is required ?
In this case, handover-related signalling should be also involved in
mobile devices ?

 > o  A inter-6lowpan gateway protocol is needed to comunicate the new
 >    location (IPv6 global prefixes) of the roaming 6lowpan node which

I think if mobile lowpan nodes inform home network of its new address,
this inter-6lowpan gateway protocol is not required.

Do you mean Binding Update - like signals with IPsec funcions ?

This is one of scenarios for MANEMO.
I think many folks are interested in this scenario.
(this is a kind of scenario, not requirement. move it to the sec 4.)

Hi,

I also agree that the mobility will be one of the drivers of 6lowpan 
integration.

By reading the draft I become confused by the term mobility, since there 
are several types of mobility. Are you referring to seamless mobility, 
the one that let us move one node from one network to another and still 
have a continuous session? Or the draft just considers nomadism, where 
every time a node moves it needs to establish a new session?

I think you could clarify this aspect in section 2 of the draft.

Another consideration that I would like to see clarified is the one 
regarding the concept of Home Network (HN). In normal IPv6, HN takes an 
important role in mobility since it’s the Home Agent that is responsible 
to keep track of the CoA of our MN. In the draft you named it as 
original IPv6 gateway (OIG). My issue is who defines the OIG? Since the 
lowpan nodes can be randomly placed in scenario, in my opinion there can 
not be a lowpan HA concept, due to the mobility and fault tolerance 
characterizes of such network.

So it would be interesting to insert in section 4 one example, where a 
mobile node, not located on its primary network, needs to contact a 
specific lowpan node, using its Home Address (IPv6).

I also agree that it’s important to refer the mobility role of 
reduced-function devices as suggested by previous replies.

Best Regards,

Tiago Camilo

Folks,
  The Working Group meeting is first thing monday morning.

The current plan for the agenda is:

          Introduction - 10 minutes
            Notewell, note takers, ...
          Agenda Bashing - 5 minutes
          Document status - 30 minutes
            what last minutes changes were necessary
          Rechartering Process - 10 minutes
            what is the process and what process will
            we use
          Downselecting potential topics - 1 hour
          Presentations - 45 minutes

There were a number of comments on the two IDs during the IETF last call
and the IESG review.  Most did not require changes to the documents, but
a couple did.  These appear to be minor changes, but we will discuss
them at the meeting.

The main intent for this meeting is to discuss rechartering - more
specifically what the WG should work on next.  During the time for
downselecting we will invite a discussion with folks and experts from
manet and the routing area to help us understand the issues related to
the various routing protocol selection paths.  This topic alone could
fill the entire 2.5 hours, but we manage the discussion.

We ma have time for a couple short presentations - but there is no
guarantee.  If you would like to make a presentation please notify
Carsten and myself immediately.

-- if you don't have an I-D in, we need to see your slides or outline by
Friday.
-- if you do, we need at least some heads-up of what discussion you  
would like to initiate by discussing your I-D.

	geoff

Just a short question, out of curiosity I was looking for how it does
the multicast mapping, and got into chapter 9 "Multicast Address
Mapping".

16 bit mapping is explained, but there not a word about 64 bit
mapping! Should there be some text from some IEEE standard, written in
*IETF* style (I've sometimes difficulties parsing the IEEE style of
protocol text :-)

Why ? Should RFD be a stationary mode only in 6lowpan area ? Can you
elaborate on your concern again ?

Given the relevant scenarios and use cases, we can end up to any
specific requirements. That's my sense since 6lowpan mobility is
really peculiar issue in IETF due to its link characteristics.

I guess further study should take place in here. This document is
trying to list up mobility concerns in terms of 6lowpan at this stage.
Solution space will be forthcoming if folks interest occurs in this
group.

Well, addresses (I am saying both short address and long address)
needs to be binded. Otherwise, those who want to initiate its talk to
mobile device can't find out its changable location. So far, I don't
have any idea whether we should design a new signaling for that or
resue something optimized...

It belongs to 6lowpan architectural issue. I know this group will
start working on 6lowpan architecture. Let's see what architecture
will stir up...

Well, we'd like to focus on mobility requirements as well as feasible
scenarios at this stage. Once spelling out those clearly, then we will
go to details especially solution spaces if allowed. But, yes we
should live up to those kinds of functions in IETF in my thought.

It will take place in manemo bof in Prague. I will speak about that in
there. Please join us if you are of interest.

Mobility in this document does not have any restricted meaning. As
long as we work for 6lowpan mobility, we'd like to glance at all of
possibility described above. Further texts need to be added in the
next version following your input of course.

802.15.4 has a PAN Coordinator to manage to its child nodes. It can be
used for HN. Or as pointed out at the previous reply, it depends on
how to design 6lowpan architecture especially hierarchical routing
architecture.

A bit confused. Are you indicating that mobile node located in away
needs to talk with any lowpan node using its Home Address ? Why not
swapping its new address allocated by a new location for the old Home
Address ? Am I missing anything ?

Ok,

We received feedback during the IESG review and IETF last call about the
size of the datagram_tag field.  A concern was expressed over the
limited size of the field.  With only 10 bits and a perfect link it is
possible that the value would wrap in 60 seconds, which is the IPv6
timeout.  In order to deal with this, we are looking at adding another
byte to the header.  From my calculations below, even if we take into
account support for higher speed phy's (802.15.4a / UWB) we do not need
to assign all 8 bits of the added byte to the datagram_tag.  At most we
must add 4 bits.

The question is not about WHETHER we should add the byte, it seems clear
that it is necessary, unless someone in the group has information or
calculations that are different.  The overhead of adding the byte is
only for fragmented packets and the "cost" (the two extra bytes) is
amortized over at least 164 bytes. 

The question IS about should we allocate the entire extra byte to the
datagram_tag field or should we reserve some bits for future use.
Usually reserving bits is a good thing, but in this case since the
header is specific to fragmentation, I'm not sure I see the utility -
what might we use the extra bits for.

Here are my calculations for the current 15.4 radios running at 250Kbps:

First packet - 133 bytes including the PHY
Second packet - 31 bytes including the PHY
Clear channel assessment and Start-up - 400 bytes (in time)
Total byte time to transmit 2 packets is:
  400 + 133 + 400 + 31 = 964 bytes (in time)

250 Kbps => 964 * 8 * 1024 / 250000 = 31 seconds (rounded down)

We really only need 1 more bit.

For developing 15.4a UWB radios with a phy of 2Mbps (the assumption here
is that the CCA and start-up times for 15.4a radios will be comparable
to 15.4b radios):

2 Mbps => 964 * 8 * 1024 / 2000000 = 3 seconds (rounded down)

We would need 4 more bits.

Daniel,

> Daniel Park

What I meant is that reduced-function devices should be able to move without 
having to involve actively in any mobility protocol. Even though the 
separation between RFDs and FFDs is pointed out in the draft, I could not 
see whether different mobility-related requirements apply to them or not.

For example the draft makes these two statements:
- "The lowpan nodes must be able to detect its movement from one wireless 
LowPan to another correctly."
- "When a lowpan node moves from one personal area network(6lowpan) to 
another, it should immediately inform the new PAN co-ordinator about its 
presence."

In my opinion, RFD nodes should not have to detect their own movement. Their 
movement should *be detected* by more capable devices... what do you think?

Best regards,
Dominik

I agree with your approach, since its the normal IPv6 behavior, my only 
concern is regarding the energy requirements of the PAN Coordinator in 
order to manage mobility of all its devices. Moreover this means that if 
the PAN Coordinator for some reason dies, the MN can not be reached?

I also agree, a bit confused... moreover my example can be considered in 
the " Mobility across two different 6lowPan networks", so you can ignore 
my comment.

I agree with this approach, it is important to reduce the network 
activity of the RFD nodes. One possible solution of such *detect* 
mechanism can be incorporated as one "LowPan Neighbor Discovery 
Extension", in the Chakrabarti ID.

I agree with Gabriel's comment. Better to pick a safe but not  
exorbitant bit width, so that we don't have to add undue complexity  
to deal with unforeseen edge cases in the future.

The IESG has approved the following document:

- '6LoWPAN: Overview, Assumptions, Problem Statement and Goals '
   <draft-ietf-6lowpan-problem-08.txt> as an Informational RFC

This document is the product of the IPv6 over Low power WPAN Working 
Group. 

The IESG contact persons are Mark Townsley and Jari Arkko.

A URL of this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-6lowpan-problem-08.txt

Technical Summary 
6LoWPAN is specification describing how to utilize
IPv6 on top of low power, low data rate, low cost personal area
networks. These networks today being built using IEEE 802.15.4
standard radios. These radios have an extremely limited frame
size which makes it necessary to define an adaptation layer to
support link layer fragmentation and reassembly. Additionally
since these networks utilize low power transmission it is
necessary for the adaptation layer to support network layer mesh
capabilities. This specification defines the header format for
this adaptation layer.

Working Group Summary
The working group reached consensus on this document. 

Document Quality
There are at least 6 independent implementations of this protocol
being worked on and all concerns raised during the review and
WGLC have been addressed. Geoff Mulligan is the Document Shepherd.

Note to RFC Editor

1) The draft indicates in its 3rd line that the intended status is
"Standards Track". However, the document should be Informational.

2)  The document does not contain any normative statement (capitalized
MUST, MAY, SHOULD, etc.), Section 1.1 and the reference to RFC 2119 could
be safely deleted.

3) Normative references should be [ieee802.15.4] and [RFC2460], with the
remaining informative.

4) OLD: 

      An admittedly non-technical but important consideration is that
      intellectual property conditions for IP networking technology are
      either more favorable or at least better understood than
      proprietary and newer solutions.

NEW:

An admittedly non-technical but important consideration is that IP
networking technology is specified in open and freely available
specifications which is favorable or at least able to be better understood
by a wider audience than proprietary solutions.

OLD: 

   As alluded to above, devices within LoWPANs are expected to be
  deployed in exceedingly large numbers.  Additionally, they are
  expected to have limited display and input capabilities.
  Furthermore, the location of some of these devices may be hard to
  reach.  Accordingly, protocols used in LoWPANs should have minimal
  configuration, preferably work "out of the box", be easy to
  bootstrap, and enable the network to self heal given the inherent
  unreliable characteristic of these devices.  Network management
  should have little overhead yet be powerful enough to control dense
  deployment of devices.

  unreliable characteristic of these devices.  The size constraints of the



  link layer protocol should also be considered. Network management
  should have little overhead yet be powerful enough to control dense
  deployment of devices.

OLD: 

      Network Management: One of the points of transmitting IPv6
      packets, is to reuse existing protocols as much as possible.
      Network management functionality is critical for LoWPANs.
      [RFC3411] specifies SNMPv3 protocol operations.  SNMP
      functionality may be translated "as is" to LoWPANs.  However,
      further investigation is required to determine if it is suitable,
      or if an appropriate adaptation is in order.  This adaptation could
      include limiting the data types and simplifying the Basic
      Encoding Rules so as to reduce the size and complexity of the
      ASN.1 parser, thereby reducing the memory and processing needs to
      better fit into the limited memory and power of LoWPAN devices.

NEW: 

       Network Management: One of the points of transmitting IPv6
       packets, is to reuse existing protocols as much as possible.
       Network management functionality is critical for LoWPANs.
       However, management solutions need to meet the resource
       constraints as well as the minimal configuration and self
       healing functionality described in section 4.4.

       The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) [RFC3410] is
       widely used for monitoring data sources and sensors in
       conventional networks. SNMP functionality may be translated "as
       is" to LoWPANs with the benefit to utilize existing tools.
       However, due to the memory, processing, and message size
       constraints, further investigation is required to determine if
       the use of SNMPv3 is suitable, or if an appropriate adaptation
       of SNMPv3 or use of different protocols is in order.

Hi Dominik,

Why do you think that RFD's will not be involved with mobility related
signalling? Do you assume that RFDs will not move ?

Thanks,

Can you provide an example as to how the network or FFDs will detect new
nodes, that is more efficient than the RFDs doing it ?
If there is a 802.15.4 level presence detection, then the FFDs can trigger some
messages to the new RFD for identification and address assignment. But, it then
does not know if the RFD is in sleep mode or in awake mode. Thus, FFDs will need
to send periodic messages in the network - the RFDs need to respond anyway and
identify themselves. So, I don't see any advantages in network
initiated detection.

On the other hand, if the RFD moves to a new 6lowpan network, it
should associate
with the new FFD at the L2 layer (association/dissociation is part of
802.15.4 spec).
Once it associates with a new FFD, the FFD then can send them cached
information on RA and prefix on the network ( this is not part of ND
draft yet, but
we can add it).

But, I agree with you folks that we should specifically talk about RFD
function in  the requirement document.

Thanks,
-Samita

There might be one or two scenarios that are listed as part of requirements.
We will check.

As it was pointed out by Daniel that mobility solution will depend on
the 6lowpan
final architecture. Currently our architecture ( as discussed in the
wg so far) is
hierarchical with bunch FFDs and RFDs hanging off of FFDs and there is one
IPv6 router at the top ( please see the 6lowpan-ipv6-nd draft for that
assumption).

But, yes, we should make it a requirement that the solution should
contain minimum number of handover messages.

Yes, we need more text on RFDs.

Please see the 6lowpan-ipv6-nd draft. 6lowpan current architecture assumes
that there is one IPv6 subnet per 6lowpan network. Thus when a RFD moves
within a 6lowpan network, its mobility happens at the L2 layer - but no change
in L3 layer or IPv6 address. Since packets are routed using L2-layer mesh
routing, thus there should be some signaling mechansim between old and new
FFDs in this case.

Yes, in this scenario, the node's movement affects the L3 layer, as it moves
from one 6lowpan to another and it's global IPv6 address changes. It
also depends
on the application. If one periodically sends data to another node's
IPv6 addr, and the destination node moves to a different 6lowpan
network, then the sender node's
IPv6-router needs to know where to send the data that was addressed to the
destination node's old ipv6 address.

Should be. But we are not thinking about the solution details.

I don't know whether we can hold the traditional home network concept here.
I am not sure continuous mobility is important in 6lowpan scenarios.

We mean some sort of authentication. It can be some group key exchange or
certificate exchange.

Section 10.2 of the format document defines the value of P as "TBD",  
waiting for IANA assignment, and section 12 accordingly states:

    This document requests an IANA assignment of a port number P, for  
use
    with UDP header compression (Section 10.2).  This port number P is
    used as the base to which the "short_port" 4-bit values are added in
    order to obtain the actual UDP port used.

This has raised a DISCUSS from the IESG, and from the discussion the  
the 6lowpan meeting today, it is clear that this is incorrect.

There is no intention to actually allocate a port for a specific  
protocol (and if there were, we should be allocating 16 ports in  
sequence, which would require some justification).

Instead, the UDP header compression mechanism just causes port  
numbers from the range [P..P+15] to be compressed better than other  
UDP port nunbers.

Experience with managing small number spaces (cf. Payload Types in  
RTP) suggests this space would not be allocated one-by-one to  
applications, but it should be a dynamic space.  Indeed, there is no  
need to "reserve" the port numbers in the [P..P+15] range --  
receivers are free to put their listeners there and senders are free  
to use these ports as the source ports.

The IANA allocated port number space already has already allocated  
16384 ports for dynamic use, we don't need a new allocation.
The result of the meeting was that the [P..P+15] space should simply  
be somewhere in this space.  We just need to pick a P between 49152  
and 65520.
A highly scientific process run in the meeting room after the close  
of the meeting resulted in the choice of 61616 (0xF0B0) as a good  
value for P.

As a result, I propose the fix below as an expression of the meeting  
consensus.

We now need to know quickly whether there is any problem with this  
minor change.

Gruesse, Carsten



Change the text in 10.2 as follows:

          0: Not compressed, carried "in-line" (Section 10.3.2)
          1: Compressed to 4 bits.  The actual 16-bit source port is
             obtained by calculating: P + short_port value.  P is a
             predetermined port number with value TBD.  The  
short_port is
             expressed as a 4-bit value which is carried "in-line"

As was discussed previously on the mailing list, the datagram-tag  
size was a bit aggressively small at 10 bits, which got us another  
DISCUSS comment.

Datagram-Tags need to be unique over the time a receiver keeps  
fragments for reassembly, and Geoff has calculated a sender could  
only use half a 256 kbit/s link with 10 bits of datagram-tag, a  
situation that would become worse with the faster links in the pipeline.

So we need to add a byte.  What do we do with the 8 new bits?
Allocate them all to the datagram-tag?  This provides some future- 
proofing, but we only really need 4 or 5 bits in the immediate future.
We couldn't quite figure out what to do with any "reserved bits" so  
far, so the mailing list consensus so far was to use all 8 bits.

This leads to a somewhat awkward tag size of 18 bits.
In the meeting today, we discussed cutting back to 16, reshuffling  
the header to obtain alignment, and assigning the two "reserved bits"  
to the header type discriminator.  Simpler to implement, and future- 
proofing in a different way (by leaving bits for extensions).

The text proposal below does not attempt to fix the ambiguity of:

       The sender SHALL increment datagram_tag for successive,  
fragmented
       datagrams.

If anyone thinks this is absolutely required, they should define  
whether this is a single value per sender, incremented for every new  
datagram, or whether a sender has to keep (indefinitely!?) per- 
receiver counters.

Separate from this detail, if there are any issues with the text  
proposed below, we need to know quickly.

Carsten,
   I think that you have captured the discussion very well and this is a big
improvement.  My only concern is that we don't confuse the upper two bits.
They should be reserved and undefined at this stage, rather than counted on
to be zero.  If one is masking the upper bits to produce a valid 16 bit
size, all upper 5 should be masked.

The following IESG comments appear editorial to me.  They do need to  
be addressed, though.
Any takers?

Gruesse, Carsten


#################################
* Prefix issue

Jari Arkko:

Discuss [2007-03-08]:
 > This document assumes that a PAN maps to a specific IPv6 link, hence
 > it implies a unique prefix.  Knowledge of the 16-bit PAN ID (e.g., by
 > including it in the IEEE 802.15.4 headers) would enable automatically

 > document is that a given PAN ID maps to a unique IPv6 prefix.  This

Please explain how this relates to regular IPv6 prefix configuration
methods (such as RAs) and whether this prevents the configuration
of multiple prefixes on the same link.

 > As usual, hosts learn IPv6 prefixes via router advertisements as per
 > [I-D.ietf-ipv6-2461bis].  The working group may pursue additional
 > mechanisms as well.

Please delete the second sentence. Further work is always
possible, but you have to provide an unambigious definition
of what IPv6 over 802.15.4 means in this document.

#################################
* Multicast issue

 > Additionally, support for mapping of IPv6 multicast addresses MAY be
 > provided as per Section 9.  A full specification of such
 > functionality is out of scope of this document.

This seems to suggest that there are two ways to implement multicast
over 802.15.4. Let me quote RFC 1958, architectural principles of the
Internet: "3.2 If there are several ways of doing the same thing,
choose one."  Specifically, there is no negotiation whether multicast
is implemented via broadcast or the suggested scheme, so how would
node be able to determine what they should be sending? Also, the
description in Section 9 seems to indicate that it is incomplete.

One way to resolve this is to remove the second approach, i.e.,
Section 9. However, this implies that all nodes within a 802.15.4
network will need to wake up when one of them is called upon
in, say, Neighbor Solicitation.

#################################
* Incorrect, but inconsequential statement...

 > datagram_size:  This 11 bit field encodes the size of the entire IP
 >   payload datagram.  The value of datagram_size SHALL be the same
 >   for all link fragments of an IP payload datagram.  For IPv6, this
 >   SHALL be 40 octets (the size of the uncompressed IPv6 header) more
 >   than the value of Payload Length in the IPv6 header [RFC2460].
 >   Typically, this field needs to encode a maximum length of 1280
 >   (IEEE 802.15.4 link MTU as defined in this document), and as much
 >   as 1500 (the default maximum IPv6 packet size if IPv6
 >   fragmentation is in use).  Therefore, this field is 11 bits long,
 >   which works in either case.

The latter part seems incorrect. If IPv6 fragmentation is in use,
the recommended minimum packet size from RFC 2460 is indeed 1500
bytes. However, each individual IPv6 packet fragment carries a
payload length field <= path MTU, i.e., in this case 1280 or
smaller.

I'm proposing the following disposition of the editorial IESG  
comments that weren't in my previous message.
Again, quick feedback is useful.

Gruesse, Carsten


#################################
* Editorial 1

 From Gen-ART review by Joel Halpern:

         I don't know that I have ever seen a document before that  
says "thou
shalt not extend this."  (Section 5, last sentence before 5.1, "All  
headers used
in LOWPAN adaptation layer SHALL be defined in this format document.")

===> INTERPRET COMMENT
My view of this is that this is indeed the intention. Of course,
evolving this spec itself should be possible.  Note that this would
require some version management, which will need to be addressed by
bootstrapping.

#################################
* Editorial 2

         The fragmentation technique sends an offset that is in  
multiple of 8
bytes.  It would be sensible to say that all fragments except the  
last SHOULD
(MUST?) be multiple of eight bytes, so that the fragment offset works  
well.
(section 5.3)

===> ACCEPT COMMENT AND CHANGE TEXT
OLD:
    If an entire payload (e.g., IPv6) datagram fits within a single
    802.15.4 frame, it is unfragmented and the LoWPAN encapsulation
    should contain no fragmentation header.  If the datagram does not  
fit
    within a single IEEE 802.15.4 frame, it SHALL be broken into link
    fragments.  The first link fragment SHALL contain the first fragment
    header (defined by one-bit as the first two bits and a zero-bit as
    the third bit) shown below.

NEW:
    If an entire payload (e.g., IPv6) datagram fits within a single
    802.15.4 frame, it is unfragmented and the LoWPAN encapsulation
    should contain no fragmentation header.  If the datagram does not  
fit
    within a single IEEE 802.15.4 frame, it SHALL be broken into link
    fragments.  As the fragment offset can only express multiples of
    eight bytes, all link fragments for a datagram except the last one
    MUST be multiples of eight bytes in length.
    The first link fragment SHALL contain the first fragment
    header (defined by one-bit as the first two bits and a zero-bit as
    the third bit) shown below.

(This is a new MUST, but sensible implementations would have discarded
non-aligned non-final fragments anyway because of the non-overlap  
mandate.)

#################################
* Editorial 3

         At the beginning of section 10.1 on Encoding IPv6 Header  
fields, the
wording is slightly misleading.  The wording says "The following  
common IPv6
header values may be compressed from the onset..."  I would suggest  
instead "The
following IPv6 header values are expected to be common on 6lowPan  
networks, so
the HC1 header has been constructed to efficiently compress them from  
the
onset."

===> ACCEPT COMMENT AND CHANGE TEXT
OLD:
    By virtue of having joined the same 6LoWPAN network, devices share
    some state.  This makes it possible to compress headers even in the
    absence of the customary context-building phase.  Thus, the

NEW:
    By virtue of having joined the same 6LoWPAN network, devices share
    some state.  This makes it possible to compress headers without
    explicitly building any compression context state; 6lowpan header
    compression therefore does not keep any flow state, but relies
    entirely on information pertaining to the entire link.  The  
following
    IPv6 header values are expected to be common on 6lowPan networks,
    so the HC1 header has been constructed to efficiently compress them

* HC editorial complex

Magnus Westerlund:

Discuss [2007-03-08]:

Section 10.1:

    By virtue of having joined the same 6LoWPAN network, devices share
    some state.  This makes it possible to compress headers even in the
    absence of the customary context-building phase. Thus, the following
    common IPv6 header values may be compressed from the onset: Version
    is IPv6; both IPv6 source and destination addresses are link local;
    the IPv6 interface identifiers (bottom 64 bits) for the source or
    destination addresses can be inferred from the layer two source and
    destination addresses (of course, this is only possible for  
interface
    identifiers derived from an underlying 802.15.4 MAC address); the
    packet length can be inferred either from layer two ("Frame Length"
    in the IEEE 802.15.4 PPDU) or from the "datagram_size" field in the
    fragment header (if present); both the Traffic Class and the Flow
    Label are zero; and the Next Header is UDP, ICMP or TCP.

Currently this is written such as that one get the impression that these
assumptions always will be true. Instead as it seems it should be  
interpret, in
case the fields has the following values gains in HC can be made.

===> SEE EDITORIAL 3 ABOVE.  COVERED.

The text is also confusing the reader if there exist a context state  
or not.
For example:

       Preliminary context is often required.  If so, it is highly
       desirable to allow building it by not relying exclusively on the
       in-line negotiation phase.  For example, if we assume there is
       some manual configuration phase that precedes deployment (perhaps
       with human involvement), then one should be able to leverage this
       phase to set up context such that the first packet sent will
       already be compressed.

===> STRIKE THIS PARAGRAPH.

There is also confusion about if several flows can be handled.  
Primarily due to
the following:

       Existing work assumes that there are many flows between any two
       devices.  Here, we assume that most of the time there will be  
only
       one flow, and this allows a very simple and low context flavor of
       header compression.

===> STRIKE PARAGRAPH

Please clarify that the compression is done totally without context  
and thus
can handle any number of flows.

===> COVERED (EDITORIAL 3 ABOVE)

Section 10.

Unfortuntate that this document wasn't announced on the ROHC WG list  
during its
WGL last call. Based on that the description seems somewhat to thin  
to be easily
implementable. I would propose that we delay the approval, update the  
draft and
send it for an explicit review in ROHC.

===> SORRY.  ROHC WG WAS AWARE ABOUT 6LOWPAN, BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
      ALERTED EXPLICITLY.  HARD TO FIX NOW.  NO NEED TO WAIT, THOUGH.

Lars Eggert:

Comment [2007-03-07]:
Agree with Magnus' points about the header compression specification.

===> COVERED (ABOVE).

But this is exactly what the proposed text says -- it only defines  
the 11000 and 11100 prefixes, and all other bit combinations are not  
defined.

I would not want to pre-suppose 11xNN needs to be a Fragmentation  
header -- it might be something completely different.

(Maybe I don't understand your concern.)

BTW, this also touches on the IESG comment below.

Gruesse, Carsten

* Editorial 1

 From Gen-ART review by Joel Halpern:

         I don't know that I have ever seen a document before that  
says "thou
shalt not extend this."  (Section 5, last sentence before 5.1, "All  
headers used
in LOWPAN adaptation layer SHALL be defined in this format document.")

===> INTERPRET COMMENT
My view of this is that this is indeed the intention. Of course,
evolving this spec itself should be possible.  Note that this would
require some version management, which will need to be addressed by
bootstrapping.

We tried to avoid the "obvious" numbers, because these numbers often  
are picked by protocol designers that don't know about IANA.
(cf. 6000, 5900, 5500, ...)

6l(owpan) almost reads like 61, so this was the way we arrived at the  
pseudo-random number (we also wanted to make sure it is == 0 modulo 16).

So the range would be 61616 to 61631, 0xF0B0 to 0xF0BF.
61600 to 61615 (0xF0A0 to 0xF0AF) would do, too, but is slightly less  
memorable (this has nothing to do with FOAF, either...).

As usual for this class of problems, I don't really care, so anyone  
who feels strongly about this gets to pick the number.

Gruesse, Carsten

PS.: Picking inconsequential numbers is such fun...

Looks good to me.

Thanks for catching the "one-bit" remnant.

I'd rather have deleted the first indented paragraph of the  
justifying text starting 10.
If we keep it, please add a full stop at the end of "usual flow-
aware schemes" (or maybe turn it into something more readable, such  
as "schemes that build separate context for each flow to be  
compressed").

The one remaining comment not covered is the justifying text under  
"datagram size", for which Jari supplied a comment.
I'd propose simply deleting the justification:

(If we had wanted to explain anything about this field, it should  
have been that this is *NOT* the datagram size, but the IPv6 packet  
size, i.e. the result of any IPv6 fragmentation that may already have  
happened.)

Gruesse, Carsten

Uhh.. the max IPv6 packet size is over 65Kbytes! It's just that
depending on MTU, it gets fragmented to smaller pieces on a specific
interface/link. Thus, this MTU (and resulting IPv6 packet size) is
whatever the 6lowpan decides to specify.

And, of course, the TCP protocol stack tries to avoid fragmenting, and
uses whatever size fits the MTU. But for UDP, the packet size is
totally under application control (like Blackberry sometimes uses(?)
4-8Kb UDP packets).

Occurs to me, as 6lowpan does it's own internal fragmentation anyway,
it could actually advertise very large MTU (like 4-16Kb) to avoid IPv6
header overhead in bulk transfers. Whether sensible, depends how
likely the packet loss is on the link.

A couple of us may be aware of that (and even of Jumbograms) :-)

Another reason to remove this text.

(As a general rule, justifying text rarely is very useful in the body  
of a specification, and it often confuses more than it helps.  Also,  
as in this case, apparently nobody cared to proofread it as it is  
just justifying the actual contents of the specification.  It's like  
comments in programs; they are not tested and get out of date too  
quickly.  Another textbook example for our classes on protocol  
design...)

Well...

Exactly, and with a very small L2 MTU and losses exacerbated by  
possible multi-hop L2 paths, you really want L4/L7 reliability for  
larger ADUs.

I think Dominik was talking about procedures such as Binding Updates,
Do you think RFD should send throughout their closest FFD periodical BUs?
or should be the FFD the one responsible for informing the Home Router
(Home PAN co-ordinator) about the new RFD CoA ?
I prefer the last approach, due to the RFD energy limitations .

Nevertheless,by choosing the second approach (FFD sending the BU), we
need to warn somehow the FFD on the home address and the PAN co-ordinator
address of the RFD, maybe after receiving the RA.

Hi all,

I agree with Tiago.

I think mobility support might be also dependent on architecture and
scenarios of 6lowpan deployment, but in general, I also prefer
signalling (e.g., BU) in mobile RFD nodes shoud be avoided or reducing
signalling should be severely considered due to the RFD energy limitations.

Instead, I favor "FFD sending the (proxy) BU" like PMIPv6.

In addition, we shoud consider MANEMO scenario and its solution
for movement of 6lowpan networks.

At this time, I'm writing up a solution document for mobility support
and optimization for 6lowpan applications based on Samita's requirement
document (the requirements seem to be not clear with me yet, though)

I think we can work together on this topic.

Regards,
Myung-Ki,

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
This draft is a work item of the IPv6 over Low power WPAN Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Transmission of IPv6 Packets over IEEE 802.15.4 Networks
	Author(s)	: G. Montenegro, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-6lowpan-format-12.txt
	Pages		: 31
	Date		: 2007-3-21
	
This document describes the frame format for transmission of IPv6
   packets and the method of forming IPv6 link-local addresses and
   statelessly autoconfigured addresses on IEEE 802.15.4 networks.
   Additional specifications include a simple header compression scheme
   using shared context and provisions for packet delivery in IEEE
   802.15.4 meshes.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:

RFD nodes, if relying on that, don't want to fall into the hands of  
the "more capable devices" of the adversary.
So they at least may have to be able to find out whether they are  
still (or newly) connected to a friendly FFD or in one of the two  
(not necessarily distinguishable) states "isolated" or "surrounded by  
adversaries only".
We probably need the scenarios fleshed out with some more details  
before we can see which role(s) calls for RFDs and in which way these  
particular roles are "mobile" with respect to their FFD friends.

(Putting WG chair hat on:)
This is correct.
We just have to be careful not to refer to this mental model as "the  
6lowpan architecture", as we the WG haven't agreed on one yet.
(Hat off again:)
I personally think this structure would be good as one, but not  
necessarily the only structure supported by the 6lowpan protocols.
But we aren't there yet: As we said during the meeting, we need to  
understand a reasonable set of 6lowpan scenarios and the (qualitative  
and quantitative) workloads generated by them.  And then we need to  
work on those we want to support, together with the structural models  
("architectures") that will be used to support them.

So, if you want to continue this discussion, please be concrete (as  
in "I have this airport with several 100 m of hallways that have RFD  
temp sensors that are each within 8 m of FFD light controllers spaced  
12 m apart and a maintenance guy with a set of mutually connected FFD  
maintenance devices roaming in these hallways").

Gruesse, Carsten
