        Packet Delivery Deadline time in 6LoWPAN Routing Header
                    draft-ietf-6lo-deadline-time-04

Abstract

   This document specifies a new type for the 6LoWPAN routing header
   containing the deadline time for data packets, designed for use over
   constrained networks.  The deadline time enables forwarding and
   scheduling decisions for time critical IoT M2M applications that
   operate within time-synchronized networks that agree on the meaning
   of the time representations used for the deadline time values.

1.  Introduction

   Low Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) are likely to be deployed for
   real time industrial applications requiring end-to-end delay
   guarantees [I-D.ietf-detnet-use-cases].  A Deterministic Network
   ("detnet") typically requires some data packets to reach their
   receivers within strict time bounds.  Intermediate nodes use the
   deadline information to make appropriate packet forwarding and
