Begin forwarded message: > From: IETF Secretariat <[email protected]> > Subject: New Non-WG Mailing List: 6lo -- Mailing list for discussion of a WG for Internet Area issues in IPv6 over constrained node networks > Date: May 24, 2013 2:18:40 PM EDT > To: IETF Announcement List <[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] > > > A new IETF non-working group email list has been created. > > List address: [email protected] > Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/6lo/ > To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lo > > Purpose: Since it was set up in 2005, the 6LoWPAN WG has created specifications > for building IPv6 networks out of devices that use the IEEE 802.15.4 > wireless network standard. This work has culminated in the recent > publication of RFC 6775, 6LoWPAN-ND, and the 6LoWPAN WG is shutting down. > > This does not mean the work in this space is done. Indeed, 6LoWPAN > produced one more document that isn't even about 802.15.4: > draft-ietf-6lowpan-btle-12.txt, the equivalent of 6LoWPAN for the low > energy mode of the Bluetooth 4.0 specification, is now in IESG > processing, waiting for the assignment of a number from the Bluetooth > SIG. A number of related drafts want to apply 6LoWPAN technology to > other constrained node network layer 2 specifications: > > -- draft-brandt-6man-lowpanz-00.txt > -- draft-ietf-6man-6lobac-01.txt > -- draft-mariager-6lowpan-v6over-dect-ule-02.txt > > Also, some additional specifications are generally regarded as useful > complements of the existing 6LoWPAN work: > > -- draft-schoenw-6lowpan-mib-03.txt > -- draft-bormann-6lowpan-ghc-05.txt > -- draft-kelsey-intarea-mesh-link-establishment-05.txt > -- draft-bormann-6lowpan-roadmap-03.txt > > Beyond that, some older proposals that the 6LoWPAN WG has not picked > up are receiving new attention: > > -- draft-thubert-6lowpan-backbone-router-03.txt > -- draft-thubert-roll-forwarding-frags-01.txt > > Finally, there are some architectural issues raised by 6LoWPAN's use > of adaptation layer fragmentation on top of a lossy radio: > > -- draft-bormann-intarea-alfi-02.txt > > As can be seen, these drafts have been addressed to a zoo of working > groups, including the sunsetting 6LoWPAN WG, the 6MAN WG, INTAREA, and > even ROLL, with the addressed WG often changing over the lifetime of a > draft. It is probably more productive to focus most of this closely > related work on a specific WG. > > One clear candidate is the 6man WG. However, that WG has a number of > other duties in maintaining IPv6 that make it subscribing to its > mailing list too onerous to the group of experts interested in > constrained node networking. It is probably worth separating out the > 6man-related work that focuses on constrained node networks. There > are, however, architectural aspects that are indeed best left in 6man > or even INTAREA. The 6Lo mailing list has been set up to organize the > discussion of a charter for a potential working group that focuses on > IP-over-foo standardization (adaptation layers) for constrained node > networks, working closely with the INT area working groups and other > IETF WGs focused on constrained node networks. > > For additional information, please contact the list administrators. _______________________________________________ 6tsch mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6tsch
