> The application-specific routing requirements for Urban Low-Power and
> Lossy Networks (U-LLNs) are presented in this document.  In the near
> future, sensing and actuating nodes will be placed outdoors in urban
> environments so as to improve people's living conditions as well as
> to monitor compliance with increasingly strict environmental laws.
> These field nodes are expected to measure and report a wide gamut of
> data (for example, the data required by applications that perform
> smart-metering or that monitor meteorological, pollution, and allergy
> conditions).  The majority of these nodes are expected to communicate
> wirelessly over a variety of links such as IEEE 802.15.4, low-power
> IEEE 802.11, or IEEE 802.15.1 (Bluetooth), which given the limited
> radio range and the large number of nodes requires the use of
> suitable routing protocols.  The design of such protocols will be
> mainly impacted by the limited resources of the nodes (memory,
> processing power, battery, etc.) and the particularities of the
> outdoor urban application scenarios.  As such, for a wireless
> solution for Routing Over Low-Power and Lossy (ROLL) networks to be
> useful, the protocol(s) ought to be energy-efficient, scalable, and
> autonomous.  This documents aims to specify a set of IPv6 routing
> requirements reflecting these and further U-LLNs' tailored
> characteristics.  This memo provides information for the Internet  
> community.

> This document is a product of the Routing Over Low power and Lossy
