Performance Evaluation of Low-Power and Lossy Networks
Article No.: 24, Pages 1 - 6
Abstract
This paper presents the performance evaluation of Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLN) and Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) in terms of Round-Trip delay Time (RTT) and Packet Loss Ratio (PLR). We test the RTT and PLR of LLN using Linux Ping6 utility. On top of that, we test and evaluate performance of CoAP. Both tests are conducted with different number of wireless link hops and packet size in real networks. The test result indicates the following properties of LLN and CoAP: (i) The number of wireless hops affects RTT significantly; (ii) Fragmentation of large packets by 6LoWPAN adaptation protocol also has considerable impact on RTT, (iii) the time interval between requests is a main factor of pocket loss, and (iv) CoAP processing takes longer time compared with ICMPv6.

Design and analysis of RPL objective functions for multi-gateway ad-hoc low-power and lossy networks
RPL is a standard routing framework for low-power and lossy networks (LLNs). LLNs usually operate in challenged conditions, therefore RPL can be adapted to satisfy requirements of a particular LLN. RPL facilitates this through objective functions (OFs). ...
Low-power and lossy networks under mobility
With the creation of the Routing Over Low power and Lossy networks (ROLL) group, work centered on the Internet of Things (IoT) has been emerging. A routing protocol for Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) named the IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power ...
6LoWPAN Compressed DTLS for CoAP
DCOSS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE 8th International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor SystemsReal deployments of the IoT require security. CoAP is being standardized as an application layer protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). CoAP proposes to use DTLS to provide end-to-end security to protect the IoT. DTLS is a heavyweight protocol and ...
