Title: new 6lowpan charter

Hi, Schumacher,

 

As I remember, there were some additional rechartering items which we had reached on consensus in the last interim meeting, such as mesh routing protocols, service discovery, scalability (routing and addressing) and management.

 

Is there anything I don’t know during the time or any reason why we can’t move forward on these issues?

Subject: [6lowpan] new 6lowpan charter

 

Hi.

During the 6lowpan interim meeting in January, the working group discussed possible topics for a future rechartering of 6lowpan. Based on available information from that meeting I've compiled the following text, which is an edited version of the scope present in the current 6lowpan charter. Feedback is appreciated.

--- start of scope ---

Scope of 6lowpan:

Produce "Optimization of the Neighbor Discovery Protocol for 6lowpans"
to define how to apply the existing Neighbor Discovery protocol in a
6lowpan.

Produce "IPv6 over Low Power WPAN Security Analysis" to define the
assumptions for a security model for 6lowpan. This includes analysis
of threats, identify types of devices and define the levels of trust
between these devices.

Produce "6lowpan Co-existence with other Networks" to define how to
co-exist with other networks. This includes analysis of how to survive
interference caused by IEEE 802.11 based networks, and investigate how to
recognize and co-exist with other networks based on IEEE 802.15.4.

As such, the working group may also work on an informational document
to show how to apply an existing MANET protocol to LoWPANs (e.g.,
AODV, OLSR, DYMO, etc).

The working group will reuse existing specifications whenever
reasonable and possible.

The working group will also serve as a venue for ongoing discussions
on other topics related to the more complete list outlined above.
Additional related milestones may be added in the future via a
rechartering operation.

Note: As may be obvious from its official name above, this particular
working group will not work on IPv4 over IEEE 802.15.4 specifications.
Given the limitations of the target devices, dual-stack deployments
are not practical. Because of its higher potential for header
compression, its support for the huge number of devices expected and
of cleanly built-in features such as address autoconfiguration, IPv6
is the exclusive focus of the working group.

--- end of scope ---

Looking forward to receive your feedback.

Regards
Christian
