Abstract

Routing Protocol for low power and Lossy networks (RPL) is a standardized routing protocol for low power and lossy networks (LLNs) such as the Internet of Things (IoT). RPL was designed to be a simple (but efficient) and practical networking protocol to perform routing in IoT networks that consist of resource-constrained devices. These tiny intercommunicating devices are currently in use in a large array of IoT application services (e.g., eHealth, smart agriculture, smart grids, and home automation). However, security, the lack of scalability and the low data communication reliability due to faulty links or malicious nodes, still remain significant challenges in the broader adoption of RPL in LLNs.
