Due to the enormous variety of application scenarios and ubiquity,Internet ofThings (IoT) brought a new perspective of applications for the current andfuture Internet. The Wireless Sensor Networks provide key devices fordeveloping the IoT communication paradigm, such as the sensors collectingvarious kind of information and the routing and MAC protocols. However, thistype of network has strong power consumption and transmission capacityrestrictions (low speed wireless links and subject to interference). In thiscontext, it is necessary to develop solutions that enable a more efficientcommunication based on the optimized utilization of the network resources. Thispapers aims to present a multi-objective routing algorithm, named Routing-Awareof path Length, Link quality, and traffic Load (RALL), that seeks to balancethree objectives: to minimize bottlenecks, to minimize path length, and toavoid links with low quality. RALL results in good performance when taking intoconsideration delivery rate, overhead, delay, and power consumption.
