IoT Networks
Constrained Node Networks : 6loWpan
› 6LowPAN = IPv6 over Low-Power wireless Area Networks (e.g., IEEE 802.15.4
MAC)
› 6LowPAN(6lo) stack enables:
– End-to-end data flows
– Network Maintainability
– Global Reachability with IPv6 addresses
› 6LowPAN(6lo) stack allows:
– Stateless and efficient header compression
– Standard socket API, CoAP, MQTT
– Minimal use of code and memory
– Direct Transparent Internet Integration
