The protocol uses Trickle to distribute link-local information about the identity of the neighbours of the nodes that have MPL-enabled interfaces. In the end-state all nodes are connected to a minimum number, N\_DUPLICATE, of forwarders, where N\_DUPLICATE is application dependent, and there is a path between any two forwarders.}, }
