On Forwarding 6LoWPAN Fragments over a Multi-Hop IPv6 Network
RFC 8930, “On Forwarding 6LoWPAN Fragments over a Multi-Hop IPv6 Network”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2020 by T. Watteyne, P. Thubert, C. Bormann. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides generic rules to enable the forwarding of an IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) fragment over a route-over network. Forwarding fragments can improve both end-to-end latency and reliability as well as reduce the buffer requirements in intermediate nodes; it may be implemented using RFC 4944 and Virtual Reassembly Buffers (VRBs).
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.
