Hi Adam, This is funny actually. In a recent conference keynote I gave (EWSN 2008) I predicted that ZigBee will give up its proprietary framing and switch to RFC4944 by 2010. Seems they reacted? Anyways, this is the same old ZigBee philosophy "we can gateway anything" and who cares if its an ugly proxy cludge that needs to be updated for each new application... and we know how slow it takes to get a new profile...
Someone should comment on that blog at least, the guy seems a bit confused about how 6lowpan works (double-back-flip to fit IPv6 in 802.15.4?). Maybe David should answer as the blogger wanted to know what Arch Rock thought of it ;-) - Zach Adam Dunkels wrote: > Don't know if you've already seen these news, but I thought it might be > interesting to people here: > > "ZIGBEE ALLIANCE CONTINUES EXPANDING THE INTERNET OF THINGS, Alliance > Forming New Group Chartered To Expand Existing ZigBee IP Capabilities": > http://www.zigbee.org/imwp/idms/popups/pop_download.asp?ContentID=12725 > > "This new initiative will make it easier for developers > and system integrators to deploy ZigBee and to add additional features > and functions, including IPv6 > support." > > "ZigBee Alliance charters new group to explore Internet solutions": > http://www.wirelessnetdesignline.com/206901000?cid=RSSfeed_wirelessnetdesignline_wndlRSS > > "Zigbee Alliance Aiming at IPv6 Support": > http://freaklabs.org/index.php/Zigbee/zigbee-alliance-aiming-at-IP6-support.html > > Sounds like a direct answer to 6lowpan. > > /adam -- Zach Shelby | CTO | +358 40 7796297 Sensinode Ltd. www.sensinode.com _______________________________________________ 6lowpan mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lowpan
