Compression Format for IPv6 Datagrams over IEEE 802.15.4-Based Networks
RFC 6282, “Compression Format for IPv6 Datagrams over IEEE 802.15.4-Based Networks”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2011 by J. Hui, P. Thubert. It updates RFC 4944. It has since been updated by RFC 8066. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document updates RFC 4944, "Transmission of IPv6 Packets over IEEE 802.15.4 Networks". This document specifies an IPv6 header compression format for IPv6 packet delivery in Low Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs). The compression format relies on shared context to allow compression of arbitrary prefixes. How the information is maintained in that shared context is out of scope. This document specifies compression of multicast addresses and a framework for compressing next headers. UDP header compression is specified within this framework. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
