Registration Extensions for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network Neighbor Discovery
RFC 8505, “Registration Extensions for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network Neighbor Discovery”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2018 by P. Thubert, E. Nordmark, S. Chakrabarti, C. Perkins. It updates RFC 6775. It has since been updated by RFC 8928, RFC 8929, RFC 9010, RFC 9685, RFC 9926. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification updates RFC 6775 -- the Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) Neighbor Discovery specification -- to clarify the role of the protocol as a registration technique and simplify the registration operation in 6LoWPAN routers, as well as to provide enhancements to the registration capabilities and mobility detection for different network topologies, including the Routing Registrars performing routing for host routes and/or proxy Neighbor Discovery in a low-power network.
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.
