* Mesh: this is the normal case. Nodes route data on behalf of others and the node can be reached via a DAO route. * Leaf: the node does not route data on behalf of others, but others can route data to the node (it has a RPL DAO route). * Feather: this is a new type of node. A feather node routes data on behalf of others, but does not install DAO routes in the network. Feather nodes allow having a larger number of nodes than the RPL network can sustain in terms of routing tables. This commit introduces the RPL node types and the feather mode, but does not add support for the leaf node type.
The Contiki Operating System
Contiki is an open source operating system that runs on tiny low-power microcontrollers and makes it possible to develop applications that make efficient use of the hardware while providing standardized low-power wireless communication for a range of hardware platforms.
Contiki is used in numerous commercial and non-commercial systems, such as city sound monitoring, street lights, networked electrical power meters, industrial monitoring, radiation monitoring, construction site monitoring, alarm systems, remote house monitoring, and so on.
