Routing and RPL Protocol Module Guide

Follow Packet Pete as a field alarm must travel up to the control room and a reset must travel back.

  1. Packet Pete follows the alarm from the sensor through the gateway to the control room.

    The field sensor sends a dry-bed alarm to the control room.

  2. Pete traces a separate command in the reverse direction.

    A reset command must travel back to the field sensor.

  3. Packet Pete observes as the alarm arrives, but the returning reset stops at a broken parent link.

    One missing path can hide behind a tidy route map.

  4. Pete removes one parent and adds traffic while a local guard stays on.

    Test both directions under stress, and keep local protection active.

A field alarm must travel up to the control room and a reset must travel back.

What can I try when a project does not work?

Check the symptom, then work through the diagnostic steps. Keep the error message and the smallest example that reproduces it.
