Abstract

The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL)constructs routes by using Objective Functions that optimize orconstrain the routes it selects and uses. This specificationdescribes the Minimum Rank with Hysteresis Objective Function(MRHOF), an Objective Function that selects routes that minimize ametric, while using hysteresis to reduce churn in response to smallmetric changes. MRHOF works with additive metrics along a route, andthe metrics it uses are determined by the metrics that the RPLDestination Information Object (DIO) messages advertise. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
