[Roll] RPL Status

[JP Vasseur <[e-mail]>]

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.
