Abstract

In Internet of Things(IoT), sensor nodes sense the data from an environment and process that data for specific applications such as industry, home automation and weather forecasting. These sensor nodes are less in terms of power, storage and bandwidth. Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Network (RPL) is the most commonly used distance vector protocol for IoT applications. To analyse such protocols, some network simulators are designed, i.e. Cooja in Contiki OS, OpenWSN, NS-2 and OMNeT++. Most of the researchers are using Cooja for their research purpose. Some of the issues are faced under Cooja simulator while analysing RPL for dense network simulation. In this paper, different issues faced along with some solutions are highlighted. This analysis is done with Contiki-2.7 operating system and Cooja simulator.
