No, that’s not how it [1] works. There is no extra byte except if the R or F flags in the RPL Packet Information (RPI) are non-zero. It appears to me that those flags are an infrequent occurrence, so the total expense in bytes sent should be near zero. There *is* expense in code size (complexity), though. I have not been able to obtain any real world numbers on the frequency of non-zero R bits in real life RPL traffic. (I have no idea whether non-zero F bits actually exist in real life at all.) Those would be questions that people with more RPL experience than I have can answer. Grüße, Carsten [1] http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bormann-6lo-rpl-mesh-02
