Claim:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, at a Field Area Router (FAR) device, data packet messages from a Low-Power Lossy Network (LLN); interpolating, in the FAR, LLN routing topology for data packet messages to be received from the LLN; determining an approximate number of data packet messages the FAR is to receive from the LLN by dividing a channel capacity of the FAR by an amount of 1-hop and 2-hop nodal devices in the LLN which transmit data packet messages to the FAR; and applying traffic shaping by the FAR for the data packet messages transmitting in the LLN to be received by the FAR based upon the determined number of data packet messages the FAR is to receive from the LLN.
