1.  Introduction

   This document specifies how openSCHC handles the rule selection and
   how this process can be extended to a meshed environment.

2.  Rule Manager

   OpenSCHC imports rule in JSON, such has:

   [{
       "DeviceID" : "udp:90.27.174.128:8888",
       "SoR" : [
            {
               "RuleID": 6,
               "RuleIDLength": 3,
               "Compression": [
               ....

                      Figure 1: Simple identified SoR.

   A specific device may have several rules, identified in the SoR (Set
   of Rules) key.  The device is identified by a DeviceID.  OpenSCHC
   allows to send SCHC packet over an udp tunnel.  In that case, the
   device ID starts with the udp keyword, followed by the IP address and
   the port number.

   In that architecture, the core SCHC may contains several devices'
   rules, idenfified by different ID.  The device side contains only the
   SoR associated to the device.

   When a packet arrive to the SCHC core, a machting rule is searched
   among all the rule.  The core SCHC uses the device ID to effectively
   send the SCHC packet to the device.

   The device answers back to the core SCHC, ignoring the device ID
   since this value identifies the device itself.

Internet-Draft           LPWAN SCHC Meshed rules              March 2022


   So, we can name core a SCHC instance containing rules that does not
   contains its own ID and a device a SCHC instance containing rules
   that contains only its own ID.  Communication from device to core is
   upstream and downstream in the reverse direction.

3.  Extending the model

   This example is defined for a star toplogy, and devices can send back
   their response in case of UDP tunnel or use the media in case of
   LPWAN.  In a meshed network, several instances may coexist and use
   the same ruleID for a device but the rule itself can be different.

   The previous rule can be updated to add a CoreID:

   [{
       "DeviceID" : "udp:90.27.174.128:8888",
       "CoreID": "udp:123.1.2.3:23628"
       "SoR" : [
            {
               "RuleID": 6,
               "RuleIDLength": 3,
               "Compression": [
               ....

                      Figure 2: Double identified SoR.

   The process for the core compression is the same.  When the device
   receives the SCHC packet, it identifies the coreID and select only
   rules coming from this instance.  When the devices sends a packet,
   instead of replying on the same port.

4.  Management with simple identified rules

   A device receives a SCHC packet on a single idendified SoR, keeps
   track of the sender to reply.  This could be either the technology or
   the address of the core.  Only one core is allowed in that case.

5.  Management with double identified rules

   A device receiving a SCHC packet on a double identifie SoR, does not
   have to keep track of the core address.  When a packet needs to be
   compressed, the selected rule indicates where to send the SCHC
   packet.  The device may have several SoR corresponding to each core.

6.  Normative References
