Revision: 01
Title: Neighbor Discovery for 6LoWPAN
Creation_date: 2008-11-17
WG ID: Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 37
Abstract:
This document specifies Neighbor Discovery optimized for 6LoWPAN.
The 6LoWPAN format allows IPv6 to be used over very low-power, low-
bandwidth wireless networks often making use of extended multihop
topologies. However, the use of standard IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
over 6LoWPAN networks has several problems. Standard Neighbor
Discovery was not designed for wireless links, the standard IPv6 link
concept and heavy use of multicast makes it inefficient. This
document spefies a new mechanism allowing efficient Duplicate Address
Detection over entire 6LoWPAN networks. In addition it specifies
prefix and context dissemination for use with router advertisements,
allows for stateless address assignment, and the use of Neighbor
Discovery Proxy.
