Storing Versus Non-Storing Mode<br />

<strong>RPL</strong> supports two modes (mix not allowed):<br />

Storing mode: nodes do store/maintain routing tables<br />

Non-storing mode: nodes use default routing upward and source routing<br />

downward<br />

Upward routing similar<br />

Differences in downward routing:<br />

Storing mode: packets travel up to a common ancestor<br />

Non storing mode: packets travel up to the DAG root, then source routed<br />

Impact on forwarding:<br />

Use of source routing in non-storing<br />

No use of <strong>RPL</strong> option header (no risk of loops) in non-storing<br />
