Agenda is approved. * Call for approval minutes last call **[Thomas]** > No issues raised. Minutes last call approved. * Update on interop eveny **[Thomas]** * ongoing discussions with ETSI to organize 6TiSCH interop during IETF93 (Prague, Czech Republic, July 19-24, 2015) * companies implementing 6TiSCH, mark your calendars * ETSI will participate in defining interop tests and associated framework * **[Pascal]** idea is to push minimal draft to IESG end of November * **[Michael]** Results from interop may trigger updating the RFC * **[Pascal]** absolutely * Format of the calls have changed **[Thomas]** * we haven't been following the IESG guidance on interim meetings (https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/interim-meetings.html) * has been corrected now. New procedure: * calls announced to 6TiSCH ML and ietf-announce at least 2 weeks before * agenda sent to 6TiSCH ML at least 1 week before * minutes and attendance published on 6TiSCH ML, CC proceedings@ietf.org at most 10 days after call * IETF91 (Honolulu, Hawaii, November 9-14, 2014, http://www.ietf.org/meeting/91/) * 90min session requested, early in the day for remote presentations through meetecho * preliminary agenda to be published today at https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/91/agenda.html * _[08:13]_ wrapping up draft-ietf-6tisch-tsch **[Thomas]** > **Thomas** goes over slides to recap the changes suggested in http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/6tisch/current/msg02547.html * **[Maria Rita]** Answered e-mail with typos fixed. * **[Pascal]** Same, answered e-mail with typos fixed. * **[Ines]** About issues she raised, agrees with the rewording. * **[Thomas]** We need to discuss if we want to put lots of text about join priority in this draft. * **[Rene]** Are we going to use this join priority in the 6TiSCH work? * **[Thomas]** yes. * **[Rene]** Not sure why we should use this, as only one parameter a mote can use to choose a node to attach to * **[Pat]** the join priority is intended for a device to select which beacon to respond to in case it receives more than one. It is not mandatory to join the one with lowest priority, is only information a mote can use. * **[Rene]** I think that the spec indicates to join the node with lowest priority. * **[Pat]** yes, but which node a new node joins depends on what the device decides is important. * **[Thomas]** In the end, a node can join whichever node it wants. * **[Pascal]** We do not want to describe how 6TiSCH uses the join priority in draft-ietf-6tisch-tsch, this draft is about information and context. > Action item: **Pat** to look into the 15.4e specs and send e-mail to ML about whether a node is required to join the node which advertises the lowest priority. * **[Rene]** checks if this is mandatory, the text just indicates that a node selects a node according to the join priority. * **[Thomas]** the text indicates "preference" so this is not mandatory. * **[Pat]** if you want to change you can change it * **[Rene]** we are discussing if this is a 6TiSCH issue. * **[Pat]** for me is an implementer issue. This discussion is beyond the scope of the standard. This is part of the implementer's decision. * **[Thomas]** Lets continue discussion on ML. * **[Rene]** I need technical arguments. > Action item: **Thomas** to publish new version draft-ietf-6tisch-tsch based on discussion. * _[08:30]_ YANG model in draft-ietf-6tisch-6top-interface **[Xavi]** * goal of today's presentation: explain what was done in the draft, and call for reviews * YANG doctor Carl Moberg helped Xavi and Qin fine-tune the syntax of the YANG model. Did NOT touch semantics of it. * Xavi believe the YANG model is complete, with maybe some very minor syntactic changes. * Xavi calls for the WG to review the contents of the model. This model is one of the important outputs of 6TiSCH. We need a deep look into it . > Action item: **WG** to review completeness of YANG interface in draft-ietf-6tisch-6top-interface * YANG model divided into 6top MIB and 15.4 PIB * status for 6top MIB: model present in draft. Carl Moberg did syntactic review only (only grammar, not semantics) > Xavi shares screen to show table corresponding to YANG model in draft * **[Thomas]** What changes did Carl Moberg suggest? * **[Xavi]** When expressing the target node address, can be of two types (2B or 8B). Expressing in YANG is complicated. Doctor helped, created a group (~type) * **[Thomas]** Similar to an enum? * **[Xavi]** Yes, similar. * **[Pat]** IEEE802.15.4e is part of the IEEE802.15.4 standard. You can drop the "e" in the descriptions. > Action item: **Xavi** to update draft-ietf-6tisch-6top-interface and replace "IEEE802.15.4e" by "IEEE802.15.4" * Xavi describes the different sections in the MIB. Xavi asks people to go through elements, and list what is missing. * **[Thomas]** We are chartered to define this set of elements. This is a critical contribution in this charter. Let us take a couple of weeks to fully review that data model. * 15.4 MIB was discussed at IETF90. Will provide a single interface to access 15.4 interface. * next steps: review functionality, easy since only mapping PIB * one thing is left open: security. We don't offer a YAHG model for the security elements in 15.4. Open until security architecture. * **[Thomas]** worries about dependency on security architecture * **[Thomas]** Michael and Rene, let's make sure we progress on security architecture. * Xavi asks to send comments to the ML. * **[Thomas]** is the draft published in its current form? * **[Xavi]** No, only in Bitbucket. * **[Thomas]** suggest to publish what we have and refresh later for semantics * **[Xavi]** agreed > Action item: **Xavi** to publish current version of draft-ietf-6tisch-6top-interface * _[08:41]_ compression of RPL option > **[Pascal]** recaps the discussions about the RPL option. The 6TiSCH WG needs to make a decision as of what to do, since we need to send draft-ietf-6tisch-minimal to IESG. Plan is to send it to IESG in November. * **[Pascal]** should minimal say anything about the RPL option? If we do not say anything, we might be forced to use the HBH as defined in 6553 * **[Michael]** if we define a compressed RPL option, will any node have to also accept the (then legacy) RPL option as defined in RFC6553? * **[Michael]** I prefer the flow label option as this is simpler. * **[Michael]** A node needs to support both the HBH option compressed and not so if a node supports that will be compliant and will be able to interoperate. * **[Michael]** The flow label is a re-implementation of the HBH option. The compression of the HBH is a lossless compression. * **[Pascal]** We need minimal draft to point to a solution for that problem. This means that the draft will contain a normative reference to an RFC which still needs to be finalized. This will stall publication of draft-ietf-6tisch-minimal. * **[Michael]** Yes, but draft-ietf-6tisch-minimal can sit in editors queue while waiting. Sitting in queue sends the message that the document is stable. * **[Pascal]** Agreed, perfect. > Action: **WG** to participate in 6lo and push for the HBH compression draft. * **[Pascal]** Consensus on call is to opt for the compressed RPL option within 6lo. > Action: **Pascal** to send email to 6TiSCH ML to get consensus on going with compressed RPL option within 6lo. * _[09.10]_ AOB * **[Thomas]** Next meeting scheduled 10/24/2014. * _[09.11]_ Meeting ends
