Abstract:
   This document proposes an extended Objective Function(OF)that
   balances the number of child nodes of the parent nodes to avoid the
   overloading problem and ensure node lifetime maximization in the IPv6
   Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL). The standard
   OFs are used to build a Destination Oriented Directed Acyclic Graph
   (DODAG) where the bottleneck nodes may suffer from unbalanced traffic
   load. As a result, a part of the network may be disconnected as the
   energy of the overloaded preferred parent node will drain much faster
   than other candidate parents. Thus, a new RPL metric has been
   introduced to balance the traffic load over the network. Finally, the
   potential extra overhead has been mitigated using a new utilization
   technique.
