RFC 6998 Title: A Mechanism to Measure the Routing Metrics along a Point-to-Point Route in a Low-Power and Lossy Network Author: M. Goyal, Ed., E. Baccelli, A. Brandt, J. Martocci Status: Experimental Stream: IETF Date: August 2013 Mailbox: mukul@uwm.edu, Emmanuel.Baccelli@inria.fr, abr@sdesigns.dk, jerald.p.martocci@jci.com Pages: 29 Characters: 68274 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-roll-p2p-measurement-10.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6998.txt This document specifies a mechanism that enables a Routing Protocol for Low-power and Lossy Networks (RPL) router to measure the aggregated values of given routing metrics along an existing route towards another RPL router, thereby allowing the router to decide if it wants to initiate the discovery of a better route. This document is a product of the Routing Over Low power and Lossy networks Working Group of the IETF. EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
