A Mechanism to Measure the Routing Metrics along a Point-to-Point Route in a Low-Power and Lossy Network
RFC 6998, “A Mechanism to Measure the Routing Metrics along a Point-to-Point Route in a Low-Power and Lossy Network”, is an Experimental document published in August 2013 by M. Goyal, E. Baccelli, A. Brandt, J. Martocci. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
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.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
