1. A method, comprising: setting one or more routing update parameters for a directed acyclic graph (DAG) in a computer network, the routing update parameters indicative of when to perform a corresponding routing update operation; propagating the routing update parameters to nodes in the DAG; gathering one or more network statistics of the DAG during operation based on the routing update parameters; determining at least one adjusted routing update parameter based on the gathered network statistics; and propagating the adjusted routing update parameter to the nodes in the DAG.
