[RFC v2] doc: Add Management Interface network API definitions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



---

v2 sorts the commands and parameters according to comments.

To make the commands more generic, IPSP has been renamed Network. In order
to be more generic, a network role has been added to the commands rather
than have a specific command for role setting. With this more networking
than just 6LowPAN can be handled in the future; whether 1 octet is enough
to handle possible future roles OR'ed together remains to be seen and
comments on the subject are appreciated.

Handling incoming connection authorization is another topic to discuss
with an initial proposal already on the mailing list. I'd be glad to update
this RFC with the outcome of that discussion.
