	Title		: Overview of Existing Wireless Mesh Routing Protocols for Low Power and Lossy Networks

Networks of low power wireless devices introduce novel IP routing
   issues.  Nodes (such as sensor, actuator or various forms of objects)
   are constrained in several ways: limited memory and processing power
   and so on.  Furthermore, most of them are battery-powered thus making 
   the use of energy efficient routing protocol of high importance.
   Wireless links can vary significantly over time, requiring protocols
   to make agile decisions yet minimize the energy cost of topology
   changes.  Thus such networks also referred to as L2Ns (Low Power and
   Lossy networks) have very specific routing requirements that are
   partially addressed by existing mesh routing protocols.  The aim of
   this document is to provide a brief survey of the strengths and
   weaknesses of existing protocol with respect to these issues in order
   to provide guidance on how their lessons can be leveraged in future
   protocol design.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
