Reactive Discovery of Point-to-Point Routes in Low-Power and Lossy Networks
RFC 6997, “Reactive Discovery of Point-to-Point Routes in Low-Power and Lossy Networks”, is an Experimental document published in August 2013 by M. Goyal, E. Baccelli, M. Philipp, A. Brandt, J. Martocci. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a point-to-point route discovery mechanism, complementary to the Routing Protocol for Low-power and Lossy Networks (RPL) core functionality. This mechanism allows an IPv6 router to discover "on demand" routes to one or more IPv6 routers in a Low-power and Lossy Network (LLN) such that the discovered routes meet specified metrics constraints.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
