Abstract

This paper presents a framework for ns-3 (Network Simulator 3) of a particular wireless sensor network routing protocol, called RPL (IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low power and Lossy Networks). It will be presented with a design, its implementation and a simple example to demonstrate its operation. Finally, possible future developments are suggested and the appropriate conclusions will be drawn.

Keywords: ns-3 rpl ipv6 wireless sensor networks
