[Roll] Candidate neighbors

["Mathilde Durvy (mdurvy)" <mdurvy at cisco.com>]

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to understand better the need for 'candidate neighbors'.

My current understanding is that 'candidate parents' (RPL) are a subset of 'candidate neighbors' (RPL) which are themselves a subset of 'neighbors' (ND).

My question is, do we really need to maintain 'candidate neighbors' in addition to 'neighbors' and 'candidate parents'?

If yes what should be the data structure and corresponding fields for 'candidate neighbors'? Section 5.2.1 gives very little details...

I have a feeling that 'candidate neighbors' could simply be the set of REACHABLE 'neighbors' and be associated with a DAG once they become candidate parents.

 

Best,

Mathilde
