DEVS-RPL: Design Formal Discrete Event Model of Routing Protocol over LLN

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The Internet of Things is rapidly advancing, enabling interactions with the physical world and presenting various applications. Routing Protocol over Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is the routing protocol introduced by the IETF for IoT environments. RPL has been subjected to multiple attacks, making it essential to develop a model that defines its behavior. To achieve this, we propose DEVS-RPL, which employs the discrete event model to specify the normal behavior of network nodes in generating RPL messages. DEVS-RPL estimates the mean and frequency of each generated RPL message by defining the participant states and utilizing the time advance function. As a proof of concept, the normal network traffic produced by the Cooja simulator is compared to the RPL messages generated by the DEVS-RPL model. We find that the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of DEVS-RPL is less than 9%, indicating the high accuracy of the proposed model.
