Hi Tengfei, Thanks for the work. The draft looks promising.
I have two comments on the managed cells. * Minimum number of managed cells Sec. 5.1: Revision -02 had the following sentence. msf-02> To have the counters working, at least one unicast cell need msf-02> to be maintained all the time and never be removed. However, this is removed in -03. So, I think it's possible that msf-03 removes all managed cells, as a result of adaptation to the traffic. Is it OK? * Direction of managed cells It looks like managed cells are only for upstream traffic. In section 4.6, the joining node adds a Tx cell to the preferred parent. msf-03> Then it MUST issue a 6P ADD command MUST to that parent, with msf-03> the following fields: msf-03> o CellOptions: set to TX=1,RX=0,SHARED=0 msf-03> o NumCells: set to 1 In section 5.1, the node adds a Tx cell to the preferred parent to adapt to the traffic. msf-03> the node issues a 6P ADD command to its preferred parent to msf-03> add one managed Tx cell to the TSCH schedule. Because 6P transaction is always initiated from the child to the preferred parent, and CellOption in 6P ADD request is always (?) Tx=1 RX=0, there is no downstream managed cells. As a result, downstream packets such as DAO-ACK have to use AutoDownCell or the minimal cell. I think we should have downstream cells, too. Best regards, Toshio Ito From: 6tisch <6tisch-boun...@ietf.org> On Behalf Of Tengfei Chang Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2019 1:06 PM To: 6tisch@ietf.org Subject: [6tisch] [Call for Review] draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03 Dear all, A new version of "draft-ietf-6tisch-msf" is just published at here: https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03.txt This version mainly resolved the issues presented during IETF 104 meeting. I would like to mention one of the main changes in this version is we removed the frame pending bit feature. It's for two reasons: - it will influence the "adapt to traffic" strategy of MSF. - the "adapt to traffic" strategy has the ability to handle burst traffic by using a smaller MAX_NUMCELLS Now we are calling for reviews on the new version of MSF! Any comments and feedback are appreciated! Tengfei -- Chang Tengfei, Postdoctoral Research Engineer, Inria
