A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Routing Over Low power and Lossy networks Working Group of the IETF. Title : Reactive Discovery of Point-to-Point Routes in Low Power and Lossy Networks Author(s) : Mukul Goyal Emmanuel Baccelli Anders Brandt Robert Cragie Jerald Martocci Filename : draft-ietf-roll-p2p-rpl-03.txt Pages : 22 Date : 2011-05-13 Point to point (P2P) communication between arbitrary IPv6 routers and hosts in a Low power and Lossy Network (LLN) is a key requirement for many applications. RPL, the IPv6 Routing Protocol for LLNs, constrains the LLN topology to a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and requires the P2P routing to take place along the DAG links. Such P2P routes may be suboptimal and may lead to traffic congestion near the DAG root. This document specifies a P2P route discovery mechanism, complementary to the RPL base functionality. This mechanism allows an IPv6 router or host to discover and establish, on demand, one or more routes to another IPv6 router or host in the LLN such that the discovered routes meet specified constraints.
