[Roll] Role of the OF

["Julien Abeille (jabeille)" <jabeille at cisco.com>]

Hi all,

 

for me an OF is a logic used to compare parents, i.e. from 2 parents A, A a is better than B. This can be used for a full sort (from a list of x parents, order them) or a best paret election (from a list of x parents, which is the best)

an OF should not know what RPL states mean (preferred or backup has no meaning for an OF).

In short the OF is equivalent to the > sign, but for parents 

 

Is this correct? If yes the text in the OF0 description should not have any reference to "prefered/backup..."

 

Best,

Julien
