Appologies - I'm typing on a netbook keyboard and somehow hit the 'send' shortcut by accident.
The line: * You have a 16-bit PAN-ID (this isn't used in -hc anymore, but RFC4944 Should read (I wasn't done typing): * You have a 16-bit PAN-ID (this isn't used in -hc anymore, but RFC4944 still references it in broadcast frames) Regards, -Colin O'Flynn -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Colin O'Flynn Sent: April 5, 2011 7:47 AM To: 'Benjamin A.

Basically, zero. RFC4944 + 6lowpan-hc assumes/uses the following: * You have a 16-bit short address * You have a 64-bit long address (EUI) * You have a 16-bit PAN-ID (this isn't used in -hc anymore, but RFC4944 * You have a 127 byte payload * You have a 'broadcast' mode It only uses data transmissions: there is no scanning, beaconing, etc etc. All that 'extra stuff' is left up to another layer if you want to use it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Benjamin A.

The three approved amendments define new PHY layers. All of the currently defined PHYs share a maximum PSDU size of 127. There are some added MAC features to support new PHY features but the basic MAC has not changed. Perhaps a more specific question is, what features of the PHYs and MAC does 6LoWPAN depend on to work? -B > On Apr 4, 2011, at 21:40, Benjamin A.

You need all 4 documents to know what is in the current standard. > So one interesting question would be -- does 6LoWPAN (RFC 4944 - HC1/2 + HC + ND) work with all these? > > Gruesse, Carsten > > _______________________________________________ 6lowpan mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lowpan _______________________________________________ 6lowpan mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lowpan _______________________________________________ 6lowpan mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lowpan
