Applicability and Use Cases for IPv6 over Networks of Resource- constrained Nodes
RFC 9453, “Applicability and Use Cases for IPv6 over Networks of Resource- constrained Nodes”, is an Informational document published in September 2023 by Y. Hong, C. Gomez, Y. Choi, A. Sangi, S. Chakrabarti. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the applicability of IPv6 over constrained-node networks (6lo) and provides practical deployment examples. In addition to IEEE Std 802.15.4, various link-layer technologies are used as examples, such as ITU-T G.9959 (Z-Wave), Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE), Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications - Ultra Low Energy (DECT-ULE), Master-Slave/Token Passing (MS/TP), Near Field Communication (NFC), and Power Line Communication (PLC). This document targets an audience who would like to understand and evaluate running end-to-end IPv6 over the constrained-node networks for local or Internet connectivity.
