1. Introduction
1. 介绍

This document provides a glossary of terminology used in routing requirements and solutions for networks referred to as Low-Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs).

本文档提供了一个术语表,用于低功耗和有损网络(LLN)的路由要求和解决方案。

LLNs are typically composed of many embedded devices with limited power, memory, and processing resources interconnected by a variety of links, such as IEEE 802.15.4 or low-power Wi-Fi. There is a wide scope of application areas for LLNs, including industrial monitoring, building automation (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, access control, fire), connected home, health care, environmental monitoring, urban sensor networks, energy management, assets tracking, and refrigeration.

LLN通常由许多嵌入式设备组成,这些设备具有有限的电源、内存和处理资源,通过各种链路互连,如IEEE 802.15.4或低功耗Wi-Fi。LLN有广泛的应用领域,包括工业监控、楼宇自动化(供暖、通风、空调、照明、门禁、消防)、联网家庭、医疗保健、环境监测、城市传感器网络、能源管理、资产跟踪和制冷。

Since these applications are usually highly specific (for example, industrial automation, building automation, etc.), it is not uncommon to see a number of disparate terms used to describe the same device or functionality. Thus, in order to avoid confusion or discrepancies, this document specifies the common terminology to be used in all ROLL working group documents. The terms defined in this document are used in [RFC5548], [RFC5673], [RFC5826], and [RFC5867].

由于这些应用程序通常是高度特定的(例如,工业自动化、楼宇自动化等),因此使用许多不同的术语来描述相同的设备或功能并不少见。因此,为了避免混淆或不一致,本文件规定了所有滚动工作组文件中使用的通用术语。本文件中定义的术语在[RFC5548]、[RFC5673]、[RFC5826]和[RFC5867]中使用。

Terminology specific to a particular application is out of the scope of this document.

特定应用的专用术语不在本文档范围内。

It is expected that all routing documents defining requirements or specifying solutions for LLN will use the common terminology specified in this document. This document should be listed as an informative reference.

所有定义LLN要求或指定LLN解决方案的路由文件应使用本文件中指定的通用术语。本文件应作为参考资料列出。

2. Terminology
2. 术语

Actuator: A field device that controls a set of equipment. For example, an actuator might control and/or modulate the flow of a gas or liquid, control electricity distribution, perform a mechanical operation, etc.

DAG: Directed Acyclic Graph. A directed graph with no directed cycles (a graph formed by a collection of vertices and directed edges where each edge connects one vertex to another, such that there is no way to start at some vertex v and follow a sequence of edges that eventually loops back to vertex v again).

有向无环图。没有有向圈的有向图(由顶点和有向边的集合形成的图,其中每条边将一个顶点连接到另一个顶点,这样就无法从某个顶点v开始,并跟随一系列最终循环到顶点v的边)。

Data sink: A device that collects data from nodes in an LLN.

数据接收器:从LLN中的节点收集数据的设备。

Downstream: Data direction traveling from outside of the LLN (e.g., traffic coming from a LAN, WAN, or the Internet) via an LLN Border Router (LBR), or in general, "deeper" in the Directed Acyclic Graph computed by the routing protocol.

Field devices include sensors and actuators as well as routers and Low-Power and Lossy Network Border Routers (LBRs). A field device is usually (but not always) a device with constrained CPU, memory footprint, storage capacity, bandwidth, and sometimes power (battery operated). At the time of writing, for the sake of illustration, a typical sensor or actuator would have a few Kilobytes of RAM, a few dozens of Kilobytes of ROM/Flash memory, a 8-/16-/32-bit microcontroller, and communication capabilities ranging from a few kbits/s to a few hundred kbits/s. Although continuous improvement of hardware and software technologies is expected, such devices will likely continue to be seen as resource-constrained devices compared to computers and routers used in the rest of the Internet.

现场设备:现场设备是放置在网络操作环境中的物理设备(例如,工厂、市区或家庭)。现场设备包括传感器和执行器以及路由器和低功耗有损网络边界路由器(LBR)。现场设备通常是(但并非总是)CPU、内存占用、存储容量、带宽受限的设备,有时是电源(电池供电)。在撰写本文时,为了便于说明,典型的传感器或执行器将具有几千字节的RAM、几十千字节的ROM/闪存、8-/16-/32位微控制器,以及从几kbits/s到几百kbits/s的通信能力。尽管预计硬件和软件技术会不断改进,但与互联网其他部分使用的计算机和路由器相比,此类设备可能会继续被视为资源受限设备。
