> Good point.

The abstract does actually say "to permit", which indicates this is not mandatory. But we can add the word optional to that.

Regarding the title, there's a usual tradeoff between brevity (and it's already not brief) and detail. I wouldn't add the suggests "based on link quality" as that really adds nothing useful (it's not an optimisation based on link quality, it's an optimisation to remove a side-effect of the use of link quality). To be a useful lengthening of the title, it would, I think, have to mention something about the two hop neighbourhood. I haven't consulted with my co-author, but my proposal would be to see if anyone on the IESG has a problem with the title as-is.
