RFC 6997: Reactive Discovery of Point-to-Point Routes in Low-Power and Lossy Networks

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document specifies a point-to-point route discovery mechanism, complementary to the Routing Protocol for Low-power and Lossy Networks (RPL) core functionality. This mechanism allows an IPv6 router to discover "on demand" routes to one or more IPv6 routers in a Low-power and Lossy Network (LLN) such that the discovered routes meet specified metrics constraints.
