IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network ESC Dispatch Code Points and Guidelines
RFC 8066, “IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network ESC Dispatch Code Points and Guidelines”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2017 by S. Chakrabarti, G. Montenegro, R. Droms, J. Woodyatt. It updates RFC 4944, RFC 6282. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
RFC 4944 defines the ESC dispatch type to allow additional dispatch octets in the 6LoWPAN header. The value of the ESC dispatch type was updated by RFC 6282; however, its usage was not defined in either RFC 6282 or RFC 4944. This document updates RFC 4944 and RFC 6282 by defining the ESC extension octet code points and listing registration entries for known use cases at the time of writing of this document.
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.
