Tripathi, Ed., J. de Oliveira, Ed., JP. Vasseur, Ed. Status: Informational Stream: Independent Date: October 2012 Mailbox: jt369@drexel.edu, jau@coe.drexel.edu, jpv@cisco.com Pages: 26, Characters: 63624 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-tripathi-roll-rpl-simulation-08.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6687.txt This document presents a performance evaluation of the Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) for a small outdoor deployment of sensor nodes and for a large-scale smart meter network. Detailed simulations are carried out to produce several routing performance metrics using these real-life deployment scenarios. Please refer to the PDF version of this document, which includes several plots for the performance metrics not shown in the plain-text version.
