[6lo] FW: LLN Plugfest at IETF 90

[Samita Chakrabarti <[e-mail]>]

Hello :

The co-chairs are working with Ines and Xavier  on facilitating this plugfest event.

The  interoperability event will take place on Sunday morning of the IETF90.

It’d be a great opportunity to participate and test your 6lo-draft implementations in this event.

We have several WG drafts and there are potential ones. Please co-ordinate with  Ines and Xavi and also let the 6lo chairs know if you like to participate in this event.

Thanks,
-Samita

Subject: LLN Plugfest at IETF 90

Dear all,

We would like to announce the plugfest event at the 90th IETF Meeting in Toronto.

We call for participants. The deadline to receive topics to present or demonstrate in the event is 06/13/2014. Interested audience is also welcome and we encourage audience to participate in the feedback session.

Please find next the plugfest information.

We hope to see you there!

Xavier and Ines.

Low Power and Lossy Networks plugfest at IETF90

The IETF 6TiSCH<https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/6tisch/charter/>, IETF 6lo<https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/6lo/charter/> and IETF ROLL<https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/roll/charter/> working groups are hosting an informal "plugfest" event at the IETF90 meeting, in Toronto, CA, during the week of July 20-25 2014.

Goals

The goal of this event is to bring together people interested in hands-on experience around the technology developed by the 6TiSCH, 6lo and ROLL working groups, with a particular focus on the TSCH mode of IEEE802.15.4e, 6lowpan, RPL and new WG specifications.

When and where ?
·         Date: Sunday July 20 2014, 0900-1300 EDT.
·         Location: Meeting Room TBD, Fairmont Royal York Hotel 100 Front Street W, Toronto, CA.

Early access: TBD if the plugfest room will be open starting 8am EDT on Sunday 20 2014 to allow people to set up.

Topology proposed - TBD
·         Star topology
·         IPv6
Complementary angles

This event will feature the following complementary angles:
·         Interoperation
·         Demonstration
·         Tools
Focus 1: Interoperation

Download the interoperation guidelines:
·         - TBD for Toronto - interoperation guidelines, version 1 (London)<https://bitbucket.org/6tisch/meetings/src/master/140306_ietf89_plugfest_london/ietf89_6tisch_interop_guidelines_v01.pdf>

The goal is to achieve interoperation between different hardware and software implementations on the different aspects addressed by 6lo, 6TiSCH and ROLL WGs. This include 6TiSCH minimal draft implementation, demonstrating TSCH synchronization and OF0 for RPL on a minimal network. 6lowpan to demostrate cross link layer inter-operability by means of bridges or backbones routers. Storing and non-storing RPL implementation including its coexistance in different sub-networks.

The focus during this event is open to demonstrating 6lo, ROLL or 6TiSCH drafts implementations, including but not limited to: e.g. - 6TiSCH minimal draft: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-minimal-00. - TBD

Participants are encouraged to bring devices which implement parts or all of the listed drafts.

Levels of interoperation are proposed:
·         Level 1, star topology. A single BBR devices acts as the time source neighbor for all other nodes. Nodes need to demonstrate frame-based and acknowledgement-based synchronization. The static TSCH schedule, as well as all slot timings are taken from draft-ietf-6tisch-minimal-00.
·         Level 2, multi-hop topology. This level builds upon level 1. The goal of this level is full compliance to draft-ietf-6tisch-minimal-00, including multi-hop routing (RPL).
·         Level 3, on-the-fly scheduling. [optional] Preliminary implementations of http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dujovne-6tisch-on-the-fly can be shown.
·         Level 4, drafts from ROLL, such as: draft-ietf-roll-mpl-parameter-configuration, draft-ko-roll-mix-network-pathology, Opportunistic routing, selective DIS, and others that participants want to show
·         Level 5, drafts from 6lo, such as: draft-ietf-6lo-btle, draft-ietf-6lo-ghc,draft-ietf-6lo-lowpanz, and others that participants want to show.
·         Level 6 Other drafts, such as draft-thubert-6man-flow-label-for-rpl, etc.
Focus 2: Demonstration

Participants are encouraged to bring devices and technology based on 6TiSCH, 6lo and ROLL which they believe can be of interest for the other participants. These devices may or may not participate in the interoperation event. Demonstration of more complete systems are encouraged, for example systems which show the interconnection of a 6TiSCH based mesh to traditional networks.

Focus 3: Tools

Participants are encouraged to bring and present different tools developed around 6TiSCH/6lo/ROLL networks. Possible tools include, but are not limited to:
·         acquisition devices (i.e. "sniffers")
·         packet analysis tools (e.g. Wireshark)
·         simulation/emulation platforms
Important Dates

The preparation of this event will be held during a portion of the bi-weekly 6TiSCH call (To Be Decided how and when!!!). In particular:
·         06/02/2014 Announcement of the plugfest event to the WG/ML related with constrained devices, such as: 6tisch, 6lo, roll, core, lwig, dtls-iot, coman, ace, etc.
·         06/06/2014 Adoption of the plugfest call by the WGs, and call for participants at each group.
·         06/02/2014-06/13/2014 Participants have contacted the plugfest chairs (Xavier or Ines) with a tentative description of what they wish to participate in.
·         06/20/2014 Synchronization point 1. Participants can share the state of advancement of the implementation and raise blocking points.
·         07/11/2014 Synchronization point 2. Participants can share the state of advancement of the implementation and raise blocking points.

Note Well

This event is organized as part of the IETF90 standardization meeting. You need to register to the IETF90 conference to be able to participate. Daily passes are available. The IETF Note Well applies to this plugfest, see http://www.ietf.org/about/note-well.html.

About

The IETF 6TiSCH working group standardizes mechanisms focusing on enabling IPv6 over the TSCH mode of the IEEE802.15.4e standard. You can access the charter at http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/6tisch/charter/, which also contains links to the mailing list and the Internet-Drafts published by the group. 6TiSCH holds weekly phone calls on Friday 8am PST. Participation is open, and is subject to the IETF Note Well.

The IETF 6lo working group focuses on the work that facilitates IPv6 connectivity over constrained node networks with the characteristics of: limited power, memory and processing resources;. You can access the charter at https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/6lo/charter/, which also contains links to the mailing list and the I-D published by the group.

The IETF ROLL working group is focused on routing issues for LLN (Low Power and Lossy Networks), in IPv6 routing architectural framework for the industrial, connected home, building and urban sensor networks application scenarios. You can access the charter at https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/roll/charter/, which also contains links to the mailing list and the I-D published by the group.
