What routing protocol is used in TI 6LoWPAN kit?

Christian Wilhelmsen

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what type of routing protocol the 868MHz 6LoWPAN kit with Sensinode's NanoStack uses for mesh routing?

Did you see that page: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC-6LoWPAN#Routing_Protocol_RPL_.28.22Ripple.22.29?

Ah, thank you. Is this a modified version of RPL or pure RPL as defined by IETF? You see, I am trying to estimate the power consumption of a 6lowpan mesh, and need to gain knowledge of the exact parameters involved.

Wilhelmsen,

Sorry but I do not know that. I have never worked with 6lowpan. I guess the best way is to get the kit and measure power / look into source.

Best of luck with your application,
Maciej

Thanks Maciej,

The problem at hand will be strictly theoretical, so I won't be able to measure any power usage.
Even so, I'll guess a good estimate can be done by assuming RPL routing protocol.

Christian,

I hope and think you got answers to your questions using the other channels. Please let us know if not.

Hi Jonas,

Yes, I have been in contact with both TI and Sensinode and gotten very useful information and proper assistance.
