I know three 3 RPL implementation for linux, all of them has limitations: One kernelspace and two userspace implementations, I can't say much about these limitations because I doesn't looked deeper into these implementations and I have no idea about RPL stuff (currently). :-) The kernelspace one: - Known as linux-rpl [0]. In my opinion there is still much stuff to do there for bringing this stuff mainline. There is a blog article [1] about somebody who tested it with contiki nodes and it "seems" basically to work with limitations. The userspace implementations: - SimpleRPL [2]. Prototype implementation in python. - unstrung [3]. I think the most people on this mailinglist knows about this implementation. For using these implementation with current mainline: NOTE: We changed in linux the ARPHRD (the uapi type for a netdev) from ARPHRD_IEEE802154 to ARPHRD_6LOWPAN for the 802.15.4 6LoWPAN interface. The reason was before the 802.15.4 and 802.15.4 6LoWPAN interface used the same ARPHRD type, this situation occurs several troubles. Now BTLE 6LoWPAN and 802.15.4 6LoWPAN uses the same ARPHRD type which is ARPHRD_6LOWPAN. On ARPHRD_6LOWPAN you will have a IPv6 view without L2 information, the ARPHRD_IEEE802154 wpan interface has 802.15.4 frames view. I mostly saw that userspace applications evaluates the ARPHRD value for checking on an EUI64 mac address length, which is the same for BTLE 6LoWPAN and 802.15.4 6LoWPAN. I notice this because some applications still evaluates the old ARPHRD value (I noticed this about another mail on mailinglist at [4]). So you will have trouble to run current implementations with current mainline if you don't this behaviour. - Alex [0] https://github.com/joaopedrotaveira/linux-rpl [1] http://sixpinetrees.blogspot.de/2014/11/linux-rpl-router.html [2] https://github.com/tcheneau/simpleRPL [3] http://unstrung.sandelman.ca/ [4] http://lists.sandelman.ca/pipermail/unstrung-hackers/2015-March/000014.html
