 A Literature Collection on Routing
in the Internet of Things (IoT) with RPL
Part 5: RPL Implementations – Analysis and Evaluation
Anatol Badach

The RPL (IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks) has evolved into a very complex,

upgradable "functional unit" which is being further developed and functionally enhanced. Therefore, the RPL is

no longer just a single protocol, but a framework that integrates several functional modules. The issues that

affect the RPL are presented in a large number of scientific articles. With the support of ResearchGate, I would

like to make the list of RPL-related literature sources available to the broader research community.
