A Review of DIS-Flooding Attacks in RPL based IoT Network

Abstract

The “Internet of Things (IoT)” is a term that describes physical sensors, processing software, power and other technologies to connect or interchange information between systems and devices through the Internet and other forms of communication. RPL protocol can efficiently establish network routes, communicate routing information, and adjust the topology. The 6LoWPAN concept was born out of the belief that IP should protect even the tiniest devices, and for low-power devices, minimal computational capabilities should be permitted to join IoT. The DIS-Flooding against RPL-based IoT with its mitigation techniques are discussed in this paper.
