Message: 1 Date: Tue, 15 May 2012 13:44:37 -0400 From: Michael Richardson <mcr+ietf@sandelman.ca> To: roll@ietf.org Subject: [Roll] proposal for common table of contents for applicability statements Message-ID: <10134.1337103877@marajade.sandelman.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Here is the table of contents from each of the applicability statements. I thought we had a third applicability statement as an independant draft, but I couldn't find one. We should have a building/home applicability statement. I feel that these two applicability statements are over broad, and that each should be split into two or three statements. In particular, I think that Energy-Constrained and Energy-Rich networks should be split into different documents as they have vastly different requirements. It may be that there is a further split for networks that are dense (urban) vs those that are less dense (suburban or rural). Robert: Michael, the industrial applicability statement mainly addresses energy constrained battery operated instruments. Routers present on the backbone are typically line powered. We intend to introduce a new section in our second draft that addressed these energy-rich scenario as well, but having two separate drafts based solely on this criteria is overkill in my opinion. Could we just provide two concise profiles for the two scenarios within the same draft? A major purpose of these documents is to permit a utility (etc.) to be able to write an RFP to procure equipment from multiple vendors that can interoperate. (there are NAFTA, GATT, etc. that governments needs to comply to, which an RFC easily satisfies) As such, there needs to be enough information as to the profile of RPL to be deployed (to each area), such that a vendor can actually implement something definite. I also feel that these document spend too much time on explaining what RPL is (and frankly they they do a really good, succint job at it, so I hate to lose that text, but I don't think it needs to be repeated) Robert: Fully agree that the drafts should be less verbose on explaining what RPL is and focus on concise recommendations for implementation ready profiles. What I'd like to do (and I invite you to reply inline, keeping just this text, and +1 each part seperately) 1) is to synchronize these two documents' table of contents. 2) discuss adopting draft-phinney as a WG document! 3) make sure that we are also detailing security and routing issues properly, and yes, we need to have statments like: "Metering networks using ZigBee FOOBAR MUST in layer-2 have security BAZ enabled in order that RPL messages will be secured." or: "This statement applies to using RPL as the MESH over network on 802.15.4 technology with the 6LowPAN defined nd-18 including RFC6282 HC" The applicability statement is not the place to be general. Let's be specific, and in doing so, let's be succinct. draft-ietf-roll-applicability-ami-05.txt: 1. Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 1.1.
