Thank you, the authors! I confirmed most of my comments to the previous version have been addressed. It reads better :-) Here are my comments: two comments are major, the rest are minor. [major: usage of the autonomous cell and the managed cell] The draft specifies rules what type of frames MUST be sent over the autonomous cell. How can we implement the rules on top of TSCH MAC defined by IEEE802.15.4? https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#section-3 draft-03> The traffic on the autonomous cells are scheduled as: draft-03> draft-03> o Join Request packets and 6P ADD/DELETE Request frames to the draft-03> node's Join Proxy or its RPL routing parent MUST be sent on draft-03> AutoUpCell. draft-03> o Join Response packets and 6P ADD/DELETE Response frames to the draft-03> pledge or its RPL routing child MUST be sent on AutoDownCell. draft-03> o 6P RELOCATE Request frames to the node's RPL routing child MUST be draft-03> sent on AutoDownCell. draft-03> o 6P RELOCATE Response frames to its RPL routing parent MUST be sent draft-03> on AutoUpCell. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#section-5.1 draft-03> Adding/removing/relocating cells involves exchanging frames that draft-03> contain 6P commands. All 6P Request frames to its parent MUST be draft-03> sent on the AutoUpCell All 6P Response frames to non-parent neighbor draft-03> MUST be sent on AutoDownCell. At draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-02, the autonomous cell and the managed cell to the same neighbor are used without distinction. This is totally fine and straightforward. Why do we need the change to this part? https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-02#section-5.1 draft-02> Autonomous cells are used indistinguishably draft-02> together with dedicated cells, for broadcast or unicast traffic with draft-02> the target neighbor. The procedure to remove autonomous cells is draft-02> described in Section 3. To my understandings, TSCH MAC selects a cell (link) to transmit a frame seeing macTxType, macLinkType, and macNodeAddress of the cell, which are defined in section 8.4.2.2.2 of IEEE802.15.4-2015. TSCH MAC cares only the destination MAC address and the frame type of a TX frame, doesn't it? [major: some confusions in Section 5] We don't need to maintain NumCellsElapsed and NumCellsUsed for RX cells because managed cells have always only TX=1. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#section-5.1 draft-03> NumCellsElapsed : Counts the number of managed cells that have draft-03> elapsed since the counter was initialized. This counter is draft-03> initialized at 0. Each time the TSCH state machine indicates draft-03> that the current cell is a managed cell to the preferred parent, draft-03> NumCellsElapsed is incremented by exactly 1, regardless of draft-03> whether the cell is used to transmit/receive a frame. "to transmit/receive a frame" in the last sentence should be replaced with "to transmit a frame", and draft-03> Both NumCellsElapsed and NumCellsUsed counters can be used to cell draft-03> with cell option TX=1 or RX=1. "with cell option TX=1 or RX=1" should be replaced with "with cell option TX=1"? Another thing is related to what Fabrice pointed out. There is something wrong in text about the RELOCATE operation. Since NumTx and NumTxAck are the key counters for the RELOCATE operation, a RELOCATE request is never issued for an RX cell. Then, the direction in the following text is opposite... https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#section-3 draft-03> o 6P RELOCATE Request frames to the node's RPL routing child MUST be draft-03> sent on AutoDownCell. draft-03> o 6P RELOCATE Response frames to its RPL routing parent MUST be sent draft-03> on AutoUpCell. One more thing: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#section-5.3 draft-03> 4. For any other cell, it compares its PDR against that of the cell draft-03> with the highest PDR. If the different is less than draft-03> RELOCATE_PDRTHRES, it triggers the relocation of that cell using draft-03> a 6P RELOCATE command. - s/different/difference/ - s/less than/larger than/ ?? Can you check the entire text in Section 5? [minor comment #1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#section-2 draft-03> For example, a Trickle Timer defined in [RFC6550] MAY be draft-03> applied on DIOs. Do we need "MAY" here? If you implement RFC6550, DIO is automatically controlled by Trickle Timer. [minor comment #2] https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#section-3 draft-03> MUST use the hash function SAX [SAX-DASFAA]. The coordinates are draft-03> computed to distribute the cells across all channel offsets, and all draft-03> but the first time offsets of Slotframe 1. The first time offset is draft-03> skipped to avoid colliding with the minimal cell in Slotframe 0. s/time offset/slot offset/ [minor comment #3] https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#section-3 draft-03> o slotOffset(MAC) = 1 + hash(EUI64, length(Slotframe_1) - 1) draft-03> o channelOffset(MAC) = hash(EUI64, 16) draft-03> draft-03> The second input parameter defines the maxmium return value of the draft-03> hash function. The second input should be "the maximum return value plus 1", which is the parameter 'T' of SAX. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#appendix-B draft-03> In MSF, the T is replaced by the length slotframe 1. String s is draft-03> replaced by the mote EUI64 address. The characters of the string c0, draft-03> c1, ..., c7 are the 8 bytes of EUI64 address. This may be misleading. The first sentence could be... For slotOffset(), T is the length of the slotframe 1. For channelOffset(), T is the number of available channels. [minor comment #4] https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#section-3 draft-03> The second input parameter defines the maxmium return value of the draft-03> hash function. There are other optional parameters defined in SAX draft-03> determines the performance of SAX hash function. Those parameters draft-03> could be broadcasted in EB frame or pre-configured. What parameters...? The parameters to configure are be h0, l_bit, and r_bit, I believe. By the way, s/maxmium/maximum/ [minor comment #5] https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#section-5.1 draft-03> Implementors MAY choose to create the same counters for each draft-03> neighbor, and add them as additional statistics in the neighbor draft-03> table. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#section-5.3 draft-03> Implementors MAY choose to maintain the same counters for each draft-03> managed cell in the schedule. For what purposes? Do we need these sentences? [minor comment #6] Want to have test vectors of SAX! :-) [minor comment #7] https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-msf-03#section-5.1 draft-03> * If NumCellsUsed > LIM_NUMCELLSUSED_HIGH, trigger 6P to add a draft-03> single cell to the preferred parent draft-03> * If NumCellsUsed < LIM_NUMCELLSUSED_LOW, trigger 6P to remove a draft-03> single cell to the preferred parent It would be better to put "managed" there: proposed> * If NumCellsUsed > LIM_NUMCELLSUSED_HIGH, trigger 6P to add a proposed> single managed cell to the preferred parent proposed> * If NumCellsUsed < LIM_NUMCELLSUSED_LOW, trigger 6P to remove a proposed> single managed cell to the preferred parent [minor comment #8] s/Tx Cell/TX cell/ s/Tx cell/TX cell/ Best, Yatch
