1. 6LoWPAN Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (LOAD) Ki-Hyung Kim, S. Daniel Park, G. Montenegro, S. Yoo, and N. Kushalnagar IETF 6LoWPAN WG 66th, Montreal, CA draft-daniel-6lowpan-load-adhoc-routing-02.txt

2. 2 IETF 6LoWPAN WG 66 th, Montreal12 July 2006 Mesh Routing underneath to IPv6 Layer PHY 802.15.4 MAC Adaptation IPv6 Transport Application PHY 802.15.4 MAC Adaptation IPv6 Transport Application PHY 802.15.4 MAC Adaptation IPv6 Transport Application

3. 3 IETF 6LoWPAN WG 66 th, Montreal12 July 2006 LoWPAN Optimizations  Sub-IP Routing  Allows efficient header compression, smaller route tables  Use EUI-64 or 16 bit addresses  Use prot_type field to indicate AODV control messages instead of UDP ports  Utilization of 6lowpan characteristics  Use the route cost by utilizing the LQI of the 6LoWPAN PHY  Allow multiple schemes such as hop counts, aggregated LQI values, and minimum LQI value along a route  Hello messages are not used, instead use 802.15.4 link layer mechanisms such as ACKs, beacon responses, overhearing packets, etc  Use broadcast in the route discovery

4. 4 IETF 6LoWPAN WG 66 th, Montreal12 July 2006 LoWPAN Optimizations II  Minimize power consumption and complexity  Do not use the destination sequence number  Only destination Replies to RREQ by RREP  Do not use the local repair  Report back to the originator by RERR upon a link break  Do not maintain the precursorlist  Send RERR only to the originator of the data which caused the link break  Utilize Efficient RERR reporting  Reuse existing specs, such as AODV and DYMO, as much as possible

5. 5 IETF 6LoWPAN WG 66 th, Montreal12 July 2006 Change Log  Define the route cost by LQI and weak links  Hop counts while avoiding weak links  Several comments  Default value of weak LQI  Is there a systematic way to determine it  The necessity of the sequence number  To prevent a routing loop  Only destination replies to RREQ  Sequence numbers could also be used as an indicator of the freshness of routes  Sequence number could be beneficial for routing ability  Interaction between QoS metric and distance vector routing (Introduction of weak links in addition to the hop count)  Lifetime definition  Link monitoring (route timeout by timers?)  should consider the expiration policy of routing entries based on energy consumption  Weak link indicator by LQI  Unidirectional links?  RERR for low battery and “route cost not supported” should be avoided
