Abstract

The Routing Protocol for Low­Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is defined as a standard routing protocol for the Internet of Things (IETF) based on the definitions of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). This protocol uses the objective function to select the optimum path. Generally, Routing depends on a variety of factors. Thus, it is desirable to use more objective functions to select the best path in the routing process. Therefore, in this paper, an RPL-based Multi-objective routing method is proposed for the Internet of Things. In the proposed method, in addition to the metric of trust, other comprehensive metrics have been used. Despite popular attacks such as rank and Sybil attacks, packet loss rates have decreased and the stability of a node has increased in relation to the rank changes. The advantages of the proposed method are that, despite the rank and Sybil attacks, the average rate of lost packets in different scenarios is between 5 and 13%, while in MRHOF-RPL and SecTrust- RPL is between 62% to 89% and 26% to 37% respectively. On the other hand, the degree of stability of a node compared to the rank changes of the proposed method has increased between 2 and 8 times compared to the mentioned methods. Finally, the Cooja simulator is used to evaluate the proposed method.
