In this IPv6 and 6LoWPAN Webinar, a detailed overview of the 6LoWPAN Adaptation layer will be given. Indeed, this webinar is dedicated on how 6LoWPAN enables to use of IPv6 over IEEE Std 802.15.4 networks. During this webinar, the following three objectives will be covered:
- First, the principles of IPv6 Header Format overview will be given, then the constraints that IPv6 presents over IEEE Std 802.15.4 technology are explored, and finally, an overview on 6LoWPAN Adaptation layer is introduced.
- The second objective is dedicated on 6LoWPAN header compression (i.e., RFC 6282) and IPv6 packet fragmentation mechanisms (i.e., RFC 4944) that allow the transmission of IPv6 packets over IEEE Std 802.15.4 radio links.
- The third and the last objective of this webinar is dedicated on standardized fragment forwarding approaches. This objective is split in two parts. In the first part, the two Frame Delivery modes (i.e., Mesh-Under and Route-Over) are described, while in the second part, an alternate approach called 6LoWPAN Fragment Forwarding (6LFF) is introduced, whereby an intermediate node forwards a fragment without reassembling the complete IPv6 datagram first (i.e., RFC 8930). Moreover, a 6LoWPAN Selective Fragment Recovery mechanism will be presented (i.e.,RFC 8931).
