Abstract
Low power, lossy networks (LLNs) are becoming a critical infrastructure for future applications that are ad-hoc and untethered for periods of years. The applications enabled by LLNs include Smart Grid, data center power control, industrial networks and building and home automation systems. LLNs intersect a number of research areas to include the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). A number of LLN applications require quality of service guarantees, such as industrial sensor networks. These applications are not currently supported by LLN routing protocols that allow dynamic changes in the network structure, specifically the standardized IPv6 based Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL).
