Xavi,

Thank you for the example!

xavi> do you think makes sense?
Yes, I do :-)

Hi Yatch,

here an example,

assume we have a fancy SF (named SFz) that requires to configure certain timeouts in a certain manner. Consider that this configuration cannot be deployed statically or pre-shared as it may depend on the app requirements, node rank or can be varying in time.

When a node in that network starts, joins through minimal and minimal-security and the SFz needs to start allocating cells, before however, it needs to configure the timeouts to meet the application requirements in that node.

Using the SIGNAL command with an IE that is defined by the SFz document, two nodes will be able to install the configuration.

In detail, node A is time source of Node B. Assume Node B joins and the SFz sends a SIGNAL command to Node A with the timeout configuration for the link. Node B verifies the content of the received SFz IE in the SIGNAL command and sends back a Response confirming the configuration. If all worked both nodes install the configuration.

do you think makes sense?
regards,
Xavi

    Xavi,

    That sounds interesting.

    Could you share any example what kind of configuration will be
    conveyed in a Signal Request and/or Response?

    Best,
    Yatch

        Dear all,

        I would like to propose a new command to be used to the 6P
        Protocol. The command may be used to configure SF or exchange
        information between the SF of the communicating nodes. The
        command can be named SIGNAL and 6P will not define the content
        but only the operation and encapsulation. The content will be
        defined by the different SFs as an IE.

        I think that a message like this brings flexibility to SFs to
        implement configuration operations.

        what do you think?
        regards,
        Xavi
