Hello,

I'm glad to announce the first release of SimpleRPL, a Linux-based
implementation of the Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks 
(RPL).
This protocol has been developed at the IETF as an attempt to define a 
routing
protocol suitable for lossy and low bandwidth link-layer (such as IEEE
802.15.4). It operates on top of IPv6 using ICMPv6 messages. You can 
learn more
about it in RFC 6550.

This implementation is a fully functional (and hopefully fully 
compliant)
implementation of the standard.  I tested it on both wired and wireless 
links
and it ran just fine, although you might want to adjust some constant 
value (as
I picked the default values from the RFC and did not performed any fine 
tuning
to it). I could not test simpleRPL against the Contiki' implementation 
of RPL
(due to the current 6LoWPAN interrop issues between Linux and Contiki). 
The
GitHub project page provide more information concerning the limitations 
and
various design choices.

Once I'm confident it runs correctly (through your feedback), I'll 
announce it
to a wider audience.

The implementation is currently hosted on GitHub:

Thanks in advance for all your feedback.

Regards,
     Tony
