Re: [6tisch] nits on draft-ietf-6tisch-6top-sf0-02

Nice comments!

I also want to see the definition of "effectively used cell" and
how to calculate PDR.

In addition, I don't think that we would count the number of
cells used for 6P in terms of SF0. Is it correct? In any case,
some text on how SF0 should handle traffic or cell usage by 6P
would be helpful.

Best,

In the “Cell Estimation Algorithm” Step #2, the text reads:
> “Collect the current number of effectively used cells” — which would seem to imply that ineffectively used cells wouldn’t be included in this step.  This may seem a too literal interpretation, I’m just looking for clarity as to whether or not the term “effective” or “effectively” is really needed in the doc.
