Abstract
Low power and Lossy Network (LLN) is a network widely used to connect objects nowadays, and routing in such type of network is a new research area to work. ROLL-WG developed a routing protocol for LLN called Routing Protocol for low power and lossy network (RPL). Here, the Objective Function (OF) defines the way the node should select the parent node. The two standard OFs are OF-0, and MRHOF developed in 2010 and 2012. The paper explains these OFs and presents the experimental results of the two OFs in Contiki-3.0. The experiments were carried out by varying the number of nodes and varying data rates. The experimental results show that due to low hop count and fewer nodes getting involved in OF-0, it performs better than MRHOF, as MRHOF requires more stable links to transmit the data. Thus, OF-0 is useful in the scenarios where there are fewer nodes, and the destination is closer.
