BT has had IPSP support for some time. BT5 adopted the 6LoWPAN header compression, so "6lo-over-btle" + Bluetooth Mesh is the new technique that you're looking for. > Bt5 and bt over ipv6 are completely orthogonal, afaik. Not entirely. 6lo-over-btle didn't exist before BT5. > An application layer cannot (should not) require lower levels. Welcome to the real world :-) Ideally, you'd be right. In practice, that simply doesn't work. And besides, the requirement is not in the OCF protocol, it's in the OCF certification. > What is layer 1? Physical. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model#Layer_1:_Physical_Layer Though the OSI model does not map strictly to reality either. Bluetooth is L1 and L2, but the upper half of L2 (MAC) leaks to the layer above (IP) with IPv6. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ iotivity-dev mailing list iotivity-dev@lists.iotivity.org https://lists.iotivity.org/mailman/listinfo/iotivity-dev
