Hi Vinayak,

I don't remember three papers but the second paper that was mentioned was

Estrin, D., Govindan, R., Heidemann, J., Kumar, S., "Next Century 
Challenges: Scalable Coordination in Sensor Networks" Proceedings of the 
5th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networks 
(MobiCOM'99), Seattle, Washington, pps. 263-270, August 15-20, 1999.

Here is the link to the paper:
http://research.cens.ucla.edu/people/estrin/resources/conferences/1999aug-Govindan-Estrin-Next.pdf

The "IP is Dead, Long Live IP for Wireless Sensor Networks" paper was 
quite interesting since it aimed to get researchers to re-think their 
approach for designing sensor network. How often have you seen research 
papers starting with "The Internet was never designed with *foo* in 
mind..." (replace *foo* with the topic of the paper, like content 
caching, security, mobility, privacy, etc.)? Then, the rest of the paper 
isn't about analysis what cannot be done with the current Internet 
protocols (or what the perceived problems are) but rather about yet 
another clean slate design.

Ciao
Hannes

I have to redirect that question to Carsten. He brought up the issue and 
I wonder whether he has some ideas. Of course, this is not just a 
question for the smart object area but an interesting question in 
general for a standards developing organization.

I put Carsten on CC.

I guess you mean the ETSI M2M work.

I have to say that I do not know the work in detail and so I have to 
skip the answer to that particular work. The other panel members were 
more involved in ETSI and so they may know something.


More broadly speaking, there are lots of organizations who believe that 
IoT, M2M, etc. are very special areas that require a huge amount of 
standardization work. Whenever you send a lot of standardization 
professions to a body they produce lots of standards. From past work we 
have seen that the understanding of what has to be standardized goes 
through all layers. That takes a lot of time.

The Prague IETF plenary dealt with that topic.

I believe what was meant is that you design your applications in such a 
way that the device re-configures dynamically to deal with IP address 
changes.

If you think about the range of scenarios I think it is fair to say that 
not every device needs the ability to receive asynchronous inbound 
communication, which would require some "registration" / "anchoring" 
mechanism to be used.

For those scenarios where this is needed there are a number of choices, 
including solutions at the link layer, network layer, transport layer, 
and application layer.

It depends what you want to accomplish with your application.

Jari should respond to this question but I had made similar observations 
myself.

There is a mailing list, namely architecture-discuss@ietf.org. You can
