In NetSim GUI Plots and Packet Traces are Enabled. Run simulation 100s and observe that all the sensors are sending data to route node in animation window and also in packet trace.
Result
Animation window: The nodes send data messages to the root, creating an upward flow,

Result
Animation window: In non-storing MOP (MOP 1 (Point to Multipoint)), downward routes are supported, and the use of P2P and MP2P is allowed. However, all downward routes are maintained in the root node. Thus, the total downward traffic should be initially sent to the DODAG root and subsequently be forwarded to its destination.

In NetSim GUI Plots are Enabled. Run simulation 100s and observe that all the sensors are sending data to root node in animation window and also in packet trace.
Result
Animation window: In storing without multicast MOP (MOP 2 (Point to point)), downward routes are also supported, but are different from MOP 1 (Point to multipoint); the nodes maintain, individually, a routing table constructed using DAO messages to provide downward traffic. Hence, downward forwarding occurs without the use of the root node
