Subject: [6tisch] Question about the Relocation in 6P

Hello folks,

I have a question about the relocation of cells in the draft 6tisch-6top-protocol. 

In section 4.3.3, node A wants to relocate several cells and selects candidate cells from its schedule for node B, then node B's SF verifies which of the cells it can install in its schedule. The verification can be partially succeed. If N < NumCells cells appear in the CellList, this means first N cells in the Relocation CellList have been relocated, the remainder have not.

Does this mean that if the relocation of the first cells fails, there would not be necessary to verify if the rest cells could be relocated? For example, in Figure 15, if the cell (1,2) in the R. CellList cannot be relocated to any of the cells in C.CellList, then (2,2) will not be relocated even if it is possible to relocate it to (6,5)?

Thanks,

Remy
