Statement:
6TiSCH use case - Multiple metrics same as RPL Ops (RFC6551)
Discussion:
The relevant text in the draft is:

"6TiSCH devices can discover their neighbors over the radio using a mechanism such as beacons, but even though the neighbor information is available in the 6TiSCH interface data model, 6TiSCH does not describe a protocol to proactively push the neighborhood information to a PCE. DetNet should define this protocol, and it should operate over CoAP. The protocol should be able to carry multiple metrics, in particular the same metrics as used for RPL operations (RFC6551). "

So I phrase the question(s) here to be "Will DetNet define a protocol to proactively push neighbor device information to a PCE? If so, will it use CoAP? If so, will it be able to carry multiple metrics, including RPL operations (RFC6551)?"
