Re: [Roll] RPL Status

["Anders Brandt" <[e-mail]>]

All,
 
>the plan is still to Last Call RPL before the next IETF
 
I would like to poll the WG on this statement.
The home and building requirements are not met by the current RPL draft
and we have not even started discussing the P2P ID mechanisms in detail
-
or frame format modifications for that matter.
 
Does the WG agree that a RPL spec without support for home and building
applications is acceptable?
 
Thanks,
  Anders

	Dear WG, 
	
	
	Here is a quick status. First, we would like to thank the WG
again for the continuous effort and lots of fruitful and productive work
! As discussed in Anaheim, the plan is still to Last Call RPL before the
next IETF. The plan is to release the next revision of the RPL I-D by
end of next week. Rev-08 will  address the following:

	1) Security section (integrating the work on the security DT)
	2) New DAO mechanism (cleaner and more simple), as agreed on the
Mailing List
	3) Basic source routing  => See also companion drafts to be
published very soon for (RH-0 like)
	4) Updated manageability section
	5) DAO ACK
	6) Trickle algorithm removed from the core specification (in a
separate doc), Examples removed
	7) Several Edits, clarifications, ... 

	I had a discussion with David, and the plan is to have the P2P a
separate ID (the current RPL specification provides basic P2P, with
"advanced" P2P defined in that I-D), with the objective to progress both
documents in parallel. 

	What else ?
	We need to progress a few other documents:
	1) Use of the RPL TLV: see draft-hui-6man-rpl-option (6man WG)
	2) Source routing header (RH-0 like): to be published soon
(Jonathan/David)
	3) RPL Variables (ticket #22)
	4) ID related to measurement from P2P (if consensus on Mailing
list)

	Looking forward to your comments as soon as rev-08 will be
published.

	Thanks.

	JP and David.
