[Roll] Clarification on the objective function

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

Hi All,

 

Section 5.9.1 says

     "When the scan is complete, the preferred parent is elected and
      self's rank is computed as the preferred parent rank plus the step
      in rank with that parent."
Does this mean that the rank of a node is only based on the rank of its most preferred parent?

Shouldn't the rank of the node also depend on the non-preferred parents?

Or is it assumed that the node always forward traffic via its most preferred parent? 

 

Best,

Mathilde
