1. A method, comprising: communicating, by a device, with a network operating a distributed proactive routing protocol, wherein the distributed proactive routing protocol is a routing protocol for low-Power and lossy networks (RPL); participating, by the device, in a centralized path computation protocol; and configuring, the device, to both communicate with the network operating the distributed proactive routing protocol and participate in a centralized computation protocol by: communicating, by the device, routing characteristics of the distributed proactive routing protocol for the network from the network to the centralized path computation protocol, and communicating, by the device, one or more computed paths from the centralized path computation protocol to the network, wherein the computed paths from the centralized path computation protocol are based on the routing characteristics of the distributed proactive routing protocol for the network.
