A Comparative Performance Evaluation of A load-balancing Algorithm using Contiki: “RPL vs QU-RPL” (2020)
Journal Article
Stoyanov, S., Ghaleb, B., & Ghaleb, S. (2020). A Comparative Performance Evaluation of A load-balancing Algorithm using Contiki: “RPL vs QU-RPL”. International Journal of Advanced Trends in Computer Science and Engineering, 9(4), 6834-6839. https://doi.org/10.30534/ijatcse/2020/384942020

The RPL (Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks) has emerged within constrained networks as the de-facto IPv6 routing standard, which entangles many concepts that make it a complex, albeit a rather flexible protocol. However, load balancin... Read More about A Comparative Performance Evaluation of A load-balancing Algorithm using Contiki: “RPL vs QU-RPL”.

SklCoin: Toward a Scalable Proof-of-Stake and Collective Signature Based Consensus Protocol for Strong Consistency in Blockchain (2020)
