RFC 6554 Title: An IPv6 Routing Header for Source Routes with the Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) Author: J. Hui, JP. Vasseur, D. Culler, V. Manral Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: March 2012 Mailbox: jonhui@cisco.com, jpv@cisco.com, culler@cs.berkeley.edu, vishwas.manral@hp.com Pages: 13 Characters: 30270 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-6man-rpl-routing-header-07.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6554.txt In Low-Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs), memory constraints on routers may limit them to maintaining, at most, a few routes. In some configurations, it is necessary to use these memory-constrained routers to deliver datagrams to nodes within the LLN. The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) can be used in some deployments to store most, if not all, routes on one (e.g., the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) root) or a few routers and forward the IPv6 datagram using a source routing technique to avoid large routing tables on memory-constrained routers. This document specifies a new IPv6 Routing header type for delivering datagrams within a RPL routing domain. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document is a product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
