#92: Is it possible to make P2P-RPL independent of trickle algorithm

Changes (by jpv@…):

 * status:  new => closed
 * resolution:   => fixed


Comment:

 Resolution:
 ----------------
 No. P2P-RPL depends on DAG creation for route discovery which inturn
 inherently depends on trickle algorithm.

 Discussion:
 -----------------

 [Cedric]
 Another point that has been discussed today during the ROLL meeting, is
 that some people may find other mechanisms than trickle more efficient to
 flood the RDO.
 Could we let the door opened to other flooding optimization mechanism, or
 explicitly say that the trickle mechanism MUST be used ?

 [Mukul]
 I think inherent dependence on the trickle mechanism is apparent because
 of the fact that the route discovery takes place by forming a temporary
 DAG. DAG creation (or DIO generation) depends on trickle algorithm. So,
 P2P-RPL also depends on trickle algorithm. P2P-RPL being an extension of
 core RPL, I dont think there is a way to separate P2P-RPL from trickle
 algorithm.

 [Cedric2]
 Fine. If this is needed for RPL compliancy, then I agree.
