Sharing some thoughts … as already pointed on this list, we will more likely need two routing protocols, one of constraint objects (e.g. sensors, actuators, ..), one for the other devices, this is perfectly fine (and we know that some devices will not need routing at all, fine too). With regards to Smart objects, since the IETF has already specified a routing protocol (RPL in the ROLL WG), do we now want to "Tweak"/"change" /Add yet a third one (a simplified LS or routing protocol such as OLSR) ? Since it was mentioned that we should select a well established and stabilized routing protocol, it is worth pointing out that although RPL is fairly new, in the world of smart objects, this is the protocol that will rapidly get the largest adoption and experience in the field, see the number of alliances that adopted it (Zigbee/IP, Wave2M, …)
