Building Automation Routing Requirements
in Low-Power and Lossy Networks
Abstract
The Routing Over Low-Power and Lossy (ROLL) networks Working Group
has been chartered to work on routing solutions for Low-Power and
Lossy Networks (LLNs) in various markets: industrial, commercial
(building), home, and urban networks. Pursuant to this effort, this
document defines the IPv6 routing requirements for building
automation.
