      • Question has been raised, we need to decide.
  • WG meeting
    • overview
      • Milestones are presented. Next week we will have adopted 6top interface and CoAP draft.
      • [Raghuram] Pouria and Raghuram went through the CoAP draft and are analysing/identifying what needs to be changed to be aligned to 6top draft. Changes are very minor.

        Action item: Raghuram and Pouria to publish new version of the draft and call for adoption 2 weeks from now.

      • [Thomas] we need a little time so everybody reads it and decides about its adoption.
      • The YANG model is the generic description of payloads, the CoAP draft is an implementation of the YANG model,
      • The draft is a method to integrate the yang model using CBOR payloads
      • [Thomas] At CORE WG meeting a week ago, a mail was sent to point out various management methods using CoAP (COMAN). Nothing really new there but we have to check.
      • [Raghuram] Yes, saw e-mail, will take a look.
      • discussion about security
      • plugfest presentation
      • feedback on the microphones on the security side

      • Thomas shares summary on screen

        To be published at http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/int/trac/wiki/IETF89.

  • Next steps
    • 6top interface
      • verification of YANG model; requires YANG people to validate
      • Interface verification: to make sure the interface is enough to handle management of 6TiSCH
      • [Pascal] as for the sublayer draft, it is a good opportunity to interact with the IEEE group. Collaboration will be beneficial. Ability to have an IE reserved for IETF.
    • OTF draft.
      • Integration with 6top interface. Analysis and implementation are required.
      • complex part is the interface to 6top
      • Xavi proposes to have a list of OTF/6top mappings for the next call so we can identify missing functionalities.

        Action item: Diego and OTF team to prepare a list of OTF/6top mappings for the next call so we can identify missing functionalities.

    • define a security architecture draft
    • Integrate 6LoWPAN ND and RPL
      • As demonstrated in the plugfest with the integration of SmartMeshIP network from Dust Networks and a Cisco switch
• ND in-efficiency in WiFi (Pascal)
  • Pascal presents the use of ND integrated to the LLN backbone.
  • Multicast on WiFi wastes resources
  • Wake up hosts unnecessarily
  • Packets are sent at the lowest speed
  • 6man and v6ops address similar problems
  • identifies the main points to be addressed on other working groups such as 6lo, 6man etc.
