Abstract

6LoWPAN nodes may find it useful to utilize DHCPv6 to obtain configuration parameters. In addition to network-layer information that any IPv6 node may require, 6LoWPAN nodes may find DHCP useful for obtaining link-specific parameters such as short link addresses or 6LoWPAN header compression contexts. Both stateful and stateless configuration DHCP modes may be useful in 6LoWPAN networks. This document describes a simplified form of DHCPv6 for use in 6LoWPAN networks.
