Hi :

Please find a list I xrefed from the use cases we discussed at the call and over the ML; , what did I miss?
Please fire at will...

P1: Optimized Multipath hard tracks
*       From
-      wireless process control; low rate control loops
-      Smart cities; WSN service provider
-      Vehicular; control IHM
*       Optimized => PCE
*       Allocation may be handled by a tier
*       6TUS must apply the required slots and move existing if needed

P2: Distributed Routing, soft tracks
< unsure which use cases?>
*       => RSVP or similar

P3 : Distributed Routing (best effort)
*        From
-      Industrial; non production phases
-      Industrial, Smart cities, home; monitoring
-      Commercial; asset tracking
-      Home, Commercial; security
*       Distributed => RPL

P4: Mobility (best effort)
*       From
-      Industrial; mobile worker
-      Commercial; asset tracking
*       Distributed => RPL

P5: Dynamic slot allocation
*       From
-      Industrial; alerts
-      Smart cities; Road/Street control
-      Smart cities; Smart Urban Parking
*       6TUS must adapt to bursts
*       Need to be faster than transport reaction

P6: Backbone
*       From
-      Industrial; large plant
*       Renumbering is not an option
*       One IPv6 subnet incorp. WSNs and backbone
*       Need to mark the packet for Diffserv

P7: Large/Deep Mesh
*       From
-      Smart cities; city lights monitoring
-      Building automation;
*       RPL / distributed
*       Need different PHYs to get range

P8: Coexistence with legacy
*       From
-      industrial (ISA100.11a, wiHART...)
*       Maybe achieved well enough by TSCH MAC already
*       May be achieved by channel white/black list
*       No goal: sync various networks and W/B list at the granularity of the slot

Cheers,

Pascal
