1. Introduction
RPL [RFC6550] is a routing protocol for constrained networks. RFC
6553 [RFC6553] defines the "RPL option", carried within the IPv6 Hop-
by-Hop header to quickly identify inconsistencies in the routing
topology. RFC 6554 [RFC6554] defines the "RPL Source Route Header",
an IPv6 Extension Header to deliver datagrams within a RPL routing
domain.
Several discussions in the ROLL/6lo/6TiSCH Mailing Lists took place
focusing in the definition of how to compress RPL Information in
constrained environment. ROLL Virtual Interim Meeting (02-2015)
concluded that there is a need to define how to use [RFC6553],
[RFC6554] and IP-in-IP encapsulation to be able to set the correct
environment for compression.
This document is going to be focused in data plane messages and how
can be transmitted within the above mentioned RFCs.
2. Terminology and Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
Terminology defined in [RFC7102]

Internet-Draft Useof6553 September 2015
3. Sample/reference topology
A RPL network is composed of a 6LBR (6LoWPAN Border Router), 6LR
(6LoWPAN Router) and 6LN (6LoWPAN Node) as leaf logically organized
in a DODAG structure (Destination Oriented Directed Acyclic Graph).
RPL defines the RPL Control messages (control plane ), a new ICMPv6
message with Type 155. DIS, DIO and DAO messages are all RPL Control
messages but with different Code values.
RPL supports two modes of Downward traffic: Storing, it is fully
stateful or Non-Storing it is fully source routed. A RPL Instance is
either fully storing or fully non-storing, i.e. a RPL Instance with a
combination of storing and non-storing nodes is not supported with
the current specifications.

4. Use cases
In data plane context a combination of RFC6553, RFC6554 and IP-in-IP
encapsulation is going to be analyzed for the following traffic
flows:
-Flow from RPL-aware-leaf to root
-Flow from root to RPL-aware-leaf
-Flow from not-RPL-aware-leaf to root
-Flow from root to not-RPL-aware-leaf
-Flow from RPL-aware-leaf to Internet
-Flow from Internet to RPL-aware-leaf
-Flow from not-RPL-aware-leaf to Internet

-Flow from Internet to not-RPL-aware-leaf
-Flow from RPL-aware-leaf to RPL-aware-leaf
-Flow from RPL-aware-leaf to not-RPL-aware-leaf
-Flow from not-RPL-aware-leaf to RPL-aware-leaf
-Flow from not-RPL-aware-leaf to not-RPL-aware-leaf
The applicability for Storing and Non-Storing (Non-S) modes for the
previous cases is showed as follows:

5. Storing mode
5.1. Example of Flow from RPL-aware-leaf to root
As states in Section 16.2 of [RFC6550] a leaf node does not
generally issue DIO messages, a leaf node accepts DIO messages (In
inconsistency a leaf node generates DIO with infinite rank, to fix

it). It may issue DAO and DIS messages though it generally ignores
DAO and DIS messages.
Related to RFC 6554 the Source Header route is added and removed by
DODAG root. RFC 6554 was created to strictly send information
between RPL routers in the same RPL routing domain.
In storing mode is suitable the use of RFC 6553 to send RPL
Information through HBH field checking the routing table to find out
where to send the message. It may include IP-in-IP encapsulation to
transmit information not related with the RPL domain.

6. Non Storing mode
6.1. Example of Flow from RPL-aware-leaf to root
In non-storing mode the leaf node uses Hop-By-Hop option (RFC 6553)
to indicate the routing information to send messages to the DODAG
root, this message is going to be analyzed in each node until arrive
the DODAG root.
In this case the flow comprises:
RPL-aware-leaf (6LN) --> 6LR --> root (6LBR)
