Minutes

  • [08.04] meeting starts
  • Yoshihiro could not make it to the call, but sends the following update by e-mail (see http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/6tsch/current/msg00422.html)

    Regarding "update work on PANA" part, 6 contributors have joined to develop a 6TSCH security architecture based on PANA. Once TOC is agreed, contributors will start working on detailed text.

    The latest draft being edited is available at: https://bitbucket.org/6tisch/draft-ohba-6tsch-security/src

    Any comments are appreciated.

  • [08.06] work on NSIS [Xavi]
    • Together with John, Xavi has written a document on the applicability of NSIS for 6TSCH networks.
    • Will share document on ML soon.
    • NSIS can be useable for soft reservation between nodes in the network.
    • We can create extension if needed.
    • Not clear whether can be used for PCE-to-node communication.
    • [Pascal] We need to discuss whether NSIS can really be used for PCE to mote communication.
    • [Pascal] Carsten Borrmann suggested in ML that NSIS is too complicated to be implemented in motes (see http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/6tsch/current/msg00326.html).
    • [Qin] if we want to use NSIS also for PCE to mote, then motes need to implement NSIS in all cases.
    • [Xavi] If we go that route, yes.
    • [Thomas] This is a very first announcement of the work by Xavi and John. Let's wait for the document to appear of the ML and discuss on ML.
  • [08.10] Problem statement [Pascal]
    • Pascal presents slides [TODO Thomas: add link]
    • Optimized Multipath hard tracks
      • Optimized => PCE
      • Allocation may be handled by a tier
      • [Thomas] What's the meaning of IHM?
      • [Pascal] This is a typo. Equivalent to GUI.
      • [Pascal] Reducing the amount of copper wiring in a car reduces its weight, and has a real impact on mileage.
    • Distributed Routing, soft tracks
      • Reservation => RSVP or NSIS
      • [Pascal] We need to highlight a very clear use case for this.
      • [Thomas] Agreed that we need to identify use case. Yet let's not consider this of secondary importance.
    • Distributed Routing (best effort)
      • Distributed => RPL
      • [Qin] It's a bit unclear what this use case it.
      • [Thomas] We can consider this case for:
        • Absolute minimal set of things you need to do to interoperate (shared slots)
        • used when nodes are so constrained that can not implement any form of reservation
        • used as fallback when all rest goes wrong
        • used when bootstrapping network
    • Mobility (best effort)
      • Two cases: mobile cranes and mobile worker
      • [Pascal] Can we consider traffic in mobile worker case to be "best effort"?
      • [Dominique] Yes.
    • Dynamic slot allocation
      • Used for bursty traffic
      • [Thomas] A bit open-ended. Multiple solutions can be found. Maybe roll into "Distributed Routing (best effort)" case?
    • Backbone
      • renumbering not needed when nodes transition from one LLN to another
    • Large/long mesh
      • [Dominique] Clarification: large akin city-wide, long akin "linear" topology
      • [Tom] Does this not fall into backbone case?
      • [Thomas] Agreed. Asnwer for city-wide deployments could be architecture recommendation to use multiple island of 100s nodes interconnected by backbone.
      • [Pascal] Agreed, we don't need protocolar answer to this.
    • Coexistence with legacy
      • Agreed that sync various standards (ISA100.11a, WirelessHART) is no-goal
  • [08.57] draft charter [Thomas]
    • Wrote a 1.5p very first draft charter
    • Idea is to serve as a basis for discussion
    • With lots of work already done by group, will probably be painless to finalize.
    • Will post to mailing list to start discussion
    • We can cover this in next call.
  • [09.02] Next steps
    • [Pascal] Put draft charter in bitbucket?
    • [Thomas] Yes. But charter is a very short document. Maybe we need a (longer) requirements document?
    • [Pascal] Sounds like a plan.
  • [09.05] meeting ends
