Hi:

To very clear on changes involving MUST and SHOULDs in the latest
industrial requirements draft;

1) The first change clarifies the load balancing requirement:

"The routing protocol MUST be able to compute paths	 	   
towards different destinations so as to perform load balancing across		
a variety of paths.		
"
became
"
The routing protocol MUST be able to compute paths of	
not-necessarily-equal cost toward a given destination so as to enable	
load balancing across a variety of paths. 
"

2) And the second change details the "autonomicity" requirement:

"	 		
								Therefore, the
routing protocol MUST support auto-provisioning of field devices.	
"
Became
"			
									The routing	
MAY require commissioning of information about the node itself, like	
identity, security tokens, radio standards and frequencies, etc. The	
routing protocol SHOULD NOT require to preprovision information about	
the environment where the node will be deployed. The routing	
protocol MUST enable the full discovery and setup of the environment	
(available links, selected peers, reachable network).
"
that is the need for the device to discover and adapt to its environment.

:)

Hi:

We just published a new version (03) of the ROLL industrial routing reqs.
Some language was clarified to address off-list comments, in particular around MUSTs and SHOULDs. 
We clarified the requirement for "autonomicity", that is the need for the device to discover and adapt to its environment.

Have a great season,

Pascal
