Participant: Greg, Mcr, Toerless Showing slides prepared from last weeks discussion Michael: 6LowPan also needs to be supported today in transit routers to be able to forward packets Q: will this be true for BIER forwarding of packets ? If yes, then BIER would be part of 6LowPan. If no, its a layer below it. 6LowPan is somewhat of an L2.5, hop-by-hop, aka: answer would be that 6LowPan would need to be expanded to know about BIER bitstring hop-by-hop Toerless Q: Any value in considering to carry non-IPv6 (unicast/multicast) packets ? Maybe not relevant given how 6LowPan compresses the IPv6 header down to "irrelevant" overhead. -> will put non-IP app packets below the line. Mcr: Storing/Non-Storing mode impact on forwarding: In storing mode, packet goes from uptree to downtree in common parent. In non-storing mode, packets always go through root node. .. would work the same with BIER, just need to write it down. Mcr: RPL does not support multicast. Need to run 'NPL' ? need to run specific mode... ? Toerless: - Aka: extension to send multicast 6LR to 6LR. Offline: 6tisch relationship: More an L2 with BW reservation layer, also relies on 6LowPan on top.
