The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks Option for Carrying RPL Information in Data-Plane Datagrams
RFC 6553, “The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks Option for Carrying RPL Information in Data-Plane Datagrams”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2012 by J. Hui, JP. Vasseur. It has since been updated by RFC 9008, RFC 9685, RFC 9914. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) includes routing information in data-plane datagrams to quickly identify inconsistencies in the routing topology. This document describes the RPL Option for use among RPL routers to include such routing information. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
