[Roll] Presenting about a draft

[Abdussalam Baryun <[e-mail]>]

I am preparing the draft to submit (within some days) about the node
ability to participate (NAP) to the ROLL WG. I got a request for the
meeting purposes, to post this message about the draft objective and
introduction,

The Draft initial Objectives:

1) NAP Applicability (use cases).
2) NAP Protocol Considerations.
3) NAP Operation.

Introduction:

NAP protocol is intended to be used for LLN and wireless ad hoc networks.
The NAP protocol considers; energy consumption issue, routing issue,
and environment-event issue, it is good for some node-originators to
know neighbor nodes/sinks ability (NAP to-route, or NAP
continue-to-route, or NAP to-survive, NAP to-store, NAP to-manage, or
other abilities (TBD)). The node-ability can be useful if we have
different devices capabilities or/and conditions. This
knowledge-factor can be useful and may be included in some technique,
or forwarding table in the protocol specification. The general idea is
that each node may get to a situation to advertise its *ability*
limits for the network benefit, on the other hand, some nodes in some
situation may request information about such *ability* for their
benefit.

Thanking you,
