Your SF0 layer could provide whatever internal API it wants to your RPL
implementation.  This is hardly a standardization issue or problem; this is a
quality of implementation issue.

The observation of *when* RPL should clear traffic reservation may have some
impact on the SF0 protocol, but I'd think it would be just some
implementation advice.
