     *   Recording starts
     *   [Thomas] states IETF Note Well
  *   [07.06] Administrivia
     *   Agenda bashing

agenda approved. No issues raised

     *   Approval minutes from last meeting

minutes are approved. No issues raised

  *   [07.07] Rechartering
     *   charter text
        *   the text for the new charter is stable
        *   the text has been communicated to Brian Haberman (AD), waiting for reply
     *   work items and milestones
        *   Produce 6tisch architecture
        *   6top sublayer mechanisms
        *   6top SF
        *   Secure 6tisch network bootstrap
        *   produce requirements to detnet
        *   [Zhuo] points that has been a lot of discussion w.r.t handling IP traffic (Sched. Function).
        *   [Pascal] we want to focus on something we can produce. Non-IP traffic is PCE and we are not addressing that right now.
        *   [Zhuo] a track should consist of several cells in different node schedules. This is part of the architecture
        *   [Pascal] We do not support MPLS in this instance of the charter.
        *   [Pat] could it be a compromise here. Like adding a "coma" saying ",not precluding any traffic."
        *   [Pascal] clarifies that in the current charter there is a sentence that indicates that the current work is not advanced enough to focus on that topic but nothing prevents it.
        *   [Pat] non-ip traffic, requiring some time slots. Should we work with the PCE then if we want non ip slots?
        *   [Thomas]the allocation of a track is orthogonal to the mechanism. Zhuo can you clarify what you mean non-IP traffic?
        *   [Zhuo] what happens if we create a hard cell track using the PCE and then we have 6top allocating soft cells on it. Would that be IP traffic? (CHECK THAT THIS IS WHAT HE SAID)
        *   [Pat] How to coexist with other ... -- can we add a sentence to indicate that coexistence.
        *   [Pascal]: architecture covers that with Chunks.

Action item: Pascal to check coexistence in the charter to be taken into account.

*        [07.22] new activity in the join process

o   slides presented by Michael

        *   we have 6top that will be present in any 6tisch network. It communicates 2 neighbors. * Can we leaverage it for security?

o   challenge: auth the network. Does the node join to the right network?

     *   Future work: anima WG chartered. Lot of input to the 6tisch join sec. process.
     *   Zigbee IP EAP-TLS + PANA
     *   lots of fragmentation.
     *   Thread Group is similar to the proposals of 6tisch released during 2015.
     *   Suggestion: determine if the Thread group wont work. Propose changes if necessary.
     *   [Thomas] Is there any relation between thread and anima?
     *   [Michael] does not know.

o   [07.36] draft-wang-6tisch-6top-sublayer

o   Xavi: published v03 defines the cell negotiation protcol

o   uses 6P to install remove cells

o   does not say how the scheduling function decides

o   Uses/ expects IETF IE

o   [Pat]: The IETF IE should not be named 6top since there is one for whole IETF

     *   [Thomas]: we need to describe in a small doc how split the IE for new features
     *   [Xavi]: there is a section that discusses the liaison with IEEE to get this moving
     *   [Thomas]: we are waiting for reviews by Yokohama, encourage support (or not) on the ML
     *   [07.43] draft-dujovne-6tisch-6top-sf0
     *   [Thomas]: sf0 is conplementary draft

o   [Diego] this is sequel to OTF draft defines a scheduling function

o   Procedure has 3 steps (see slides)

o   goal define the scheduling functions

     *   named SF0 (Scheduling Function 0)
     *   3 steps:
        *   monitor the traffic
        *   estimate the bw required
        *   determine the # cells to be allocated
     *   Rules
     *   [Pascal] need to restrict the set of cells we pick cells from in case we are using cells
     *   [Thomas] +1
     *   [Diego] +1. Something we forgot
     *   [Thomas] creates https://bitbucket.org/6tisch/draft-dujovne-6tisch-6top-sf0/issues/36/add-that-we-pick-cells-from-the-set-of
     *   container in 6top is used to allocate cells in a slotframe, chunk, etc,, can be any
     *   the sf0 should use that container to define the meaning of the allocation (e.g when allocating a cell in a chunk).
     *   [07.56] draft-thubert-6tisch-tracks
     *   Slides presented by Pascal
     *   what tracks are in 6tisch
     *

*        [07.59] Preparing for IETF94 Yokohama

     *   draft agenda
     *   recommended formats and slides

*        [08.01] AOB No Other B. Is there going to be an interop in Yokohama? No. The interop will in Paris 2nd-4th Feb. No interin call in two weeks from now.

*        [08.??] Meeting ends
