[Roll] Closing on Ticket #10
Dear all,
As a reminder Ticket #10 is related to a node behavior when receiving
a DIO with an OF that it does not understand / support.
There was a strong consensus for the following option:
Option 1: The node simply joins the DAG as a leaf. In order words,
the node has connectivity since it joins the DAG but will not act
as a router for others since it does not understand the OF. Parent
selection could be a simply a "random".
Now the question is whether or not RPL mandates the support of OF0.
Again two options:
1) We remove OF0 from the core spec. And nodes are free to implement
the OF that they want
2) We do mandate for each node to support OF0
Pros/Cons:
If the support of OF0 in no longer mandatory, nodes operating in an
environment requiring a specific OF just have to implement that OF.
On the other hand, when mixing nodes that do not support the same OF,
they do not interoperate.
An alternative if we decide to make OF0 non mandatory is to indicate
in some applicability statement the applications that would require
the support of OF0.
Opinion ?
Thanks.
JP.
