 A Literature Collection on Routing
in the Internet of Things (IoT) with RPL
Part 4: RPL Applications – Concepts, Analysis and Evaluation
Anatol Badach

The RPL (IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks) has evolved into a very complex,
upgradable "functional unit" which is being further developed and functionally enhanced. Therefore, the RPL is
no longer just a single protocol, but a framework that integrates several functional modules. The issues that
affect the RPL are presented in a large number of scientific articles. With the support of ResearchGate, I would
like to make the list of RPL-related literature sources available to the broader research community.
