RPL is a IPv6 based Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks. A Low-Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) are a class of network. Here both routers and their interconnects are constrained devices.(i.e) processing power, memory, and energy consumption.RPL routing based on following principle: Destination Oriented Acyclic Graphs or DODAGs.
