The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IPv6 over Constrained Node Networks (6lo) Applicability & Use cases' (draft-ietf-6lo-use-cases-16.txt) as Informational RFC
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-use-cases/ Technical Summary 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 such as ITU-T G.9959 (Z-Wave), Bluetooth Low Energy, DECT-ULE, MS/TP, NFC, and PLC are used as examples. The 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. Working Group Summary The discussion and evolution of the document has been smooth with workgroup consensus. It is worth noting that the draft was adopted in 2016 and has evolved to include 6lo use cases over this period of time. Document Quality This is an Informational draft describing use cases and examples of 6lo deployments. It described various IETF and IEEE developed standards in the examples.
