Design and Application Spaces for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks
RFC 6568, “Design and Application Spaces for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks”, is an Informational document published in April 2012 by E. Kim, D. Kaspar, JP. Vasseur. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document investigates potential application scenarios and use cases for low-power wireless personal area networks (LoWPANs). This document provides dimensions of design space for LoWPAN applications. A list of use cases and market domains that may benefit and motivate the work currently done in the 6LoWPAN Working Group is provided with the characteristics of each dimension. A complete list of practical use cases is not the goal of this document. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
