Hi all,

We have had discussions on the mechanism of CoAP-based 6top-to-6top communication. For producing concrete result before the cutoff date 7/4, we need consensus on how to propose the scheme in ietf90.

The mechanism includes the following aspects:
(1) WrapperIE definition
(2) RPC definition
(3) Uri option setting
(4) implement 6top-to-6top management interface with CoAP message
(5) implement 6top-to-6top negotiation interface with CoAP message
(6) Fragmentation
(7) Observe
(8) Acknowledgement
(9) function module in 6top sublayer 

Obviously, it is related  with three drafts, 6top interface draft, 6tisch Coap draft, and 6top sublayer draft.  I wonder if we should modify the three drafts accordingly or present the scheme in a separate draft firstly, or some in between. Please remember, 6top interface draft and 6tisch CoAP draft have become WG drafts, and thus, the procedure to make them change coordinately may be complex.

What do you think?

Thanks
Qin
