51.6 Summary
6LoWPAN realizes the basis of a massively scalable networking and bridges the gap between enterprise
networks and massively deployed SCO like wireless sensor and actor networks. 6LoWPAN has shown
applicability of IPv6 for low-power, low-rate wireless radio communication based on IEEE 802.15.4
standard. Therefore, 6LoWPAN provides protocols for IP header compression, address autoconfiguration,
adoption layer to fit IPv6 specific MTU requirements, etc.
But further efforts are still active to develop new routing concepts tailored for 6LoWPAN networks,
focused by the IETF ROLL working group. Additionally, applicability of existing application layer protocols
and required adoptions and enhancements to fit the requirements are still missing at the time of
writing this section. But 6LoWAPP activities in IETF will bear different solutions based on known and
matured protocols instead of developing new ones.
