The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Transmission of IPv6 Packets over PLC Networks' (draft-ietf-6lo-plc-11.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the IPv6 over Networks of Resource-constrained Nodes Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Kline and Éric Vyncke. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6lo-plc/ Technical Summary Power Line Communication (PLC), namely using the electric-power lines for indoor and outdoor communications, has been widely applied to support Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), especially smart meters for electricity. The inherent advantage of existing electricity infrastructure facilitates the expansion of PLC deployments, and moreover, a wide variety of accessible devices raises the potential demand of IPv6 for future applications. This document describes how IPv6 packets are transported over constrained PLC networks, such as ITU-T G.9903, IEEE 1901.1 and IEEE 1901.2. Working Group Summary There has been no particular WG controversy regarding this document. The document has progressed with WG consensus. Document Quality There exists a production-quality implementation of this specification from a large vendor. This document has normative dependencies on IEEE and ITU-T specifications.
