The IESG has received a request from the Routing Over Low power and Lossy
networks WG (roll) to consider the following document: - 'AODV based RPL
Extensions for Supporting Asymmetric P2P Links in Low-
   Power and Lossy Networks'
  <draft-ietf-roll-aodv-rpl-09.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
[email-masked] mailing lists by 2021-03-31. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to [email-masked] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract

   Route discovery for symmetric and asymmetric Point-to-Point (P2P)
   traffic flows is a desirable feature in Low power and Lossy Networks
   (LLNs).  For that purpose, this document specifies a reactive P2P
   route discovery mechanism for both hop-by-hop routing and source
   routing: Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) based RPL
   protocol (AODV-RPL).  Paired Instances are used to construct
   directional paths, in case some of the links between source and
   target node are asymmetric.
