IPv6 over Constrained Node Networks (6lo) Applicability & Use cases
draft-ietf-6lo-use-cases-04
Abstract
This document describes the applicability of IPv6 over constrained
node networks (6lo) and provides practical deployment examples. In
addition to IEEE 802.15.4, various link layer technologies such as
ITU-T G.9959 (Z-Wave), BLE, DECT-ULE, MS/TP, NFC, PLC (IEEE 1901.2),
and IEEE 802.15.4e (6tisch) are used as examples. The document
targets an audience who like to understand and evaluate running end-
to-end IPv6 over the constrained node networks connecting devices to
each other or to other devices on the Internet (e.g. cloud
infrastructure).
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute
working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-
Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months
and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference
material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."
This Internet-Draft will expire on September 6, 2018.
