Dear all,

We have designed an opportunistic extension of RPL, where the basic idea is
to exploit all links of the DODAG rather than the tree defined by links to
preferred parents. We do this using anycast: transmissions are intended
either (upwards) to any parent or (downwards) to any child having the
destination below in the DODAG.

The intuition why this is a good idea is that you don't even need to find
out which link is best for you, but rather use available links whenever
they are usable (increases robustness). Furthermore, in radio duty cycled
environment, anycast is also notoriously more energy-efficient and
low-latency than unicast.

We have a working prototype [1] in Contiki that we evaluated thoroughly in
a 135-node testbed [2]. In a 4-min packet interval data collection, we
increase the reliability of RPL from 97.4 to 99.5%, while halving the
latency (below 0.5s) and radio duty cycle (below 0.5%).

If there is interest, we can come up with a simplified version of the
design presented in the paper, and propose a way to integrate it in RPL
through only a few minor additions. To be more specific, the simplified
version would use the existing RPL routing tables rather than Bloom
filters, and would be MAC-layer agnostic (the only assumption being that
the MAC layer supports anycast).

Best regards,
Simon Duquennoy
