Maria Rita,

I'm going over the (draft) terminology draft at
https://bitbucket.org/6tsch/draft-palattella-6tsch-terminology/<https://bitbucket.org/6tsch/draft-palattella-6tsch-terminology/wiki/Home>
,
and see that the term "link" is defined as

"Single-hop connection between two or more devices. It can be dedicated
(point-to-point), multi-point, broadcast."

Quick questions:
- do we want to use the term link at all. This raised some conflicts with
IETF and IEEE802.15.4e terminology, and we went for "bundle" and "cell".
Maybe this "link" refers to a different element?
- in the current definition, what do p-to-p and multi-point mean?

Thanks,
Thomas
