The Internet-of-Everything (IoE) describes the bringing together of people, processes, data, and things to make networked connections more valuable than ever before. Moreover, machine-to-machine (M2M) is considered an essential part of IoE. This paper promotes the wireless M2M network routing protocol, which is a Multilevel Clustering Multiple Sink (MLCMS) with IPv6 protocol over Low Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN), to enhance the lifetime of a network through a special network structure. The sensor field is divided into quarters with different levels of cluster heads (CHs), which are selected in a useful way, and two beneficial location sinks. The performance of MLCMS protocols are evaluated and compared with the Modified Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (MODLEACH) protocol. The former performs 75% better than the latter regarding energy usage and the stability of the system. Next, 6LoWPAN for the proposed model is constructed and its impact on the performance of MLCMS by NS3 simulation evaluated. This increases the lifetime of the system by 12% more than using MLCMS without 6LoWPAN and it improves the flexibility of the proposed model.
