Nandu Kushalnagar & Gabriel Montenegro Sub-IP Mesh for LoWPAN
LoWPAN Considerations • Adhoc multi hop meshing • Proactive routing • Reactive routing • Routing • Above IP (Orthogonally possible) • Sub-IP (Allows efficient header compression, smaller route tables) • Flexible routing metric • Costs instead of hop Count (Allows better metrics) • Low routing overhead (much lower than traditional networks) • Reuse existing specs
Reactive routing Sub-IP • Suggest simplifications to AODV(RFC 3561), AODVbis and DYMO (draft-montenegro-lowpan-aodv-00.txt under works) • Use 64 bit/16 bit addresses instead of IP addresses • Use prot_type field to indicate AODV control messages instead of UDP ports • Only final destination responds to RREQ • Hello messages are not used, instead use 802.15.4 link layer mechanisms such as ACKs, beacon responses, overhearing packets, etc • Suggest this be separate from the original IP over 802.15.4 spec
Future potential sub-IP routing • OLSR, DYMO, DSR?
Proactive routing below IP • Suggest simplifications to OLSR (RFC 3626) • Use 64 bit/16 bit addresses instead of IP addresses • Use prot_type field to indicate OLSR control messages instead of UDP ports • MID messages are not used • HTime to be made large to alleviate overhead of hello messages • Omission of OLSR auxiliary functionality
