Thanks Ben. So is there any other activity for getting IP going on top of Li-Fi? A quick check seems to indicate: -- as this re-uses 802.15.4's MAC, they'd need something like our dispatch scheme. -- fragmentation is needed for PHY 1 (PHY frame size limited to 1023 B), not for the higher ones. -- HC would probably help with the slower PHY 1, not so much with the faster ones. Which of the PHYs is actually real? Whether the 6LoWPAN network model (and thus 6LoWPAN-ND) fits is not clear to me -- much of Li-Fi's use will be unidirectional, as a fill-in for some other connectivity, and there will be a lot of star topology usage (see page 6). Mesh forwarding (route-over/-under) usage appears less obvious to me. Of course, the most important question is whether there are people interested in doing the work. If there is energy and a clear objective, we will find a way to make this happen (in whatever WG the IETF chooses to do this).
