Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of the comparison of three reactive routing protocols for Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), AODV, DYMO and RPL. For the purpose of performance evaluation, detailed comparisons are made with AODV and DYMO. Simulations are run to estimate the network topology change, routing overhead and average packet End-to-End Delay. We simulate RPL with COOJA based on contiki operating system. It is showed that RPL routing protocol offers adaptation to changing network topology and the performances of RPL are superior to the other two routing protocol in 6lowpan, and it has a higher stability than the AODV, DYMO.
