To bring back RPL to Zephyr project

Hi,

Former RPL was a port of contiki's RPL implementation, if I am not mistaken. But it slipped a lot compared to its original code, which one got a lot more features implemented. Also, the issue with it, was that it was not very well following our common design scheme in the network stack, since that was a code from another OS. It was quite messy, and not optimized as well (a lot of timers everywher, the context data for RPL was way too big). I'd advise to reimplement RPL support from scratch. It should be simpler as well now that net_pkt got its API reworked. Following the design in ipv6_nbr.c would be a good example I guess. Br, Tomasz

Hi, I would also be interested in getting RPL back. Do you already have a branch somewhere? I would also be willing to participate in the porting. Best Regards, Max

Hello Jian, We do use the RPL module in our project, and we will keep using it in the future. Unfortunately, as we are a very small team, we didn't have the resources to step up and maintain it then, and we don't have the resources now. If you do happen to bring it back and take the responsibility, I'd be glad to help in any way I can. Best regards, Thiago

Hi All,
I am kind of new to Zephyr dev community. Previously our team was using Zephyr without actively involved in kernel development. Recently we just noticed that RPL module will be removed in the coming release. Because we are using Zephyr and RPL in the current project and probably will keep using it. I am thinking of bringing it back and take the responsibility to maintain it. Just want to check if the RPL module with Zephyr is used anywhere? In case it's not required by anyone else, it probably would be easier for us to maintain our own branch. Please let me know if you guys have any thoughts. Thanks and Best Regards, Jian
