Abstract
The IETF is currently defining the 6TiSCH architecture for the Industrial Internet of Things to provide reliable and timely communication. 6TiSCH includes a distributed management mode, in which network resources are computed autonomously by nodes and allocated in a cooperative way. Specifically, nodes use the 6top protocol to negotiate network resources with their neighbors. In this paper, we investigate the performance of 6top protocol through a set of experimental measurements on a testbed. We show that the time required to complete a 6top transaction in a real environment is not negligible, as often assumed in many studies. In addition, a significant percentage of 6top transactions fails, with a negative impact the performance of the application. We investigate the reasons for such failures and propose some guidelines to reduce their number.
