Internet of Things (IoT) is the evolving technology in in the field of communication and it is used in various
applications like weather forecasting, home appliances, health care, traffic management and etc. These applications
comprise of many resource constraints devices like sensors, smart phones, fans, tube lights, which are connected to
internet. The major standard used for communicating resource constraint devices is Ipv6 Low Wireless Personal Area
Network (6LoWPAN). In this paper we are comparing 6LoWPAN routing protocols such as 6LoWPAN Ad-Hoc onDemand Distance Vector (LOAD) ,6LoWPAN Dynamic MANET On-demand Routing protocol (DYMO-Low) and
6LoWPAN Ad-Hoc on-Demand Distance Vector – Next Generation (LOAD-ng) protocols. This work aims to analyse the
performance and the need of efficient protocols for data flow management, security, and power optimization in IoT.
