Subject: [6tisch] IE for 6top/6tisch

Hi all,

For supporting the distributed scheduling management, we use IEEE802.15.4 payload IE for 6top-to-6top communication. It is obvious that we need a dedicated IE identifier issued by IEEE802.15.4 group. Besides, the following issues are needed to be discussed.

(1) The name of the IE. e.g. CoAP IE, or 6top IE, or 6tisch IE, or ietf IE, or something else.
(2) Is it necessary to have more than one IEs for the future? 
(3) If yes, should we define sub-IE id and how to code it?

Thanks
Qin
