Paper: Lightweight On-demand Ad hoc Distance-vector Routing-Next Generation (LOADng): Protocol, extension, and applicability

This paper studies the routing protocol “Lightweight On-demand Ad hoc Distance-vector Routing Protocol – Next Generation (LOADng)”, designed to enable efficient, scalable and secure routing in low power and lossy networks. As a reactive protocol, it does not maintain a…
