The use of Internet of Things systems has increased to meet the need for smart systems in various fields, such as smart homes, intelligent industries, medical systems, agriculture, and the military. IoT networks are expanding daily to include hundreds and thousands of IoT devices, which transmit information through other linked devices to reach the network sink or gateway. The information follows different routes to the network sink. Finding an ideal routing solution is a big challenge due to several factors, such as power, computation, storage, and memory limitation for IoT devices. In 2011, A new standardized routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks was released by the Internet Engineering task force (IETF). The IETF adopted a distance vector routing algorithm for the RPL protocol. RPL protocol utilizes the objective functions (OFs) to select the path depending on diffident metrics.These OFs with different metrics must be evaluated and tested to develop the best routing solution.This project aims to test the performance of standardized RPL objective functions in a simulation environment. Afterwards, a new objective function with a new metric will be implemented and tested in the same environmental conditions. The performance results of the standard objective functions and the newly implemented objective function will be analyzed and compared to evaluate whether the standard objective functions or the new objective function is better as a routing solution for the IoT devices network.
