Comment on “DIO Suppression Attack Against Routing in the Internet of Things”

We have thoroughly studied the paper of Perazzo et al., which presents a routing attack named DIO suppression attack with its impact analysis. However, the considered simulation grid of size 20mx20m does not correspond to the results presented in their paper. We believe that the incorrect simulation detail needs to be rectified further for the scientific correctness of the results. In this comment, it is shown that the suppression attack on such small sized network topology does not have any major impact on routing performance, and specific reason is discussed for such behavior.
