Abstract:
In accordance with techniques presented herein, a packet is received at a forwarding device operating in a multi-service Low-power and Lossy Network (LLN). The forwarding device is configured to retrieve service requirements associated with the packet and obtain forwarding information from a plurality of networking layers associated with forwarding of the packet. The forwarding device is further configured to evaluate the service requirements in view of the forwarding information to dynamically adjust one or more parameters within the LLN for use in forwarding packets within the LLN.
