Packet Delivery Deadline Time in the Routing Header for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks

Overview

RFC 9034, “Packet Delivery Deadline Time in the Routing Header for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2021 by L. Thomas, S. Anamalamudi, S.V.R. Anand, M. Hegde, C. Perkins. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies a new type for the 6LoWPAN routing header containing the deadline time for data packets, designed for use over constrained networks. The deadline time enables forwarding and scheduling decisions for time-critical machine-to-machine (M2M) applications running on Internet-enabled devices that operate within time-synchronized networks. This document also specifies a representation for the deadline time values in such networks.

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.
