Stuart, It’s good to hear someone else is looking at applying 6LoWPAN to amateur radio. I’ve studied 802.15.4 a fair bit. I find the standard is growing beyond an individual’s ability to manage. So I distilled the 802.15.4 frame to the essential pieces. My result

Years ago I used TCP over 1200bps AX25 connections using UI frames. It worked quite well as long as you don't expect to much. Receiving an email (back when emails were just some ascii text) worked fine, but forget about protocols like HTTP. The current datalink code in freedv can compress headers

The whole idea of Codec2 was to REDUCE bit rate and redundancy. So, do what you can with structure first before adding extra stuff. I think what you need to deal with packet loss depends on the loss mechanism and the communications grade. If you randomly lose a packet (7 bytes over 40mS),

FreeDV voice packets are around 7 bytes per 40 milliseconds. Even a single IPV6 *address *is twice the size, not to mention the rest of the header. So, realistic expectations are called for. Header compression is helpful. Retransmission of a TCP packet could easily be a 1500 or more byte repeat,

I have send IP packets with 2400A, 2400B and 800XA. Those modes have a sync word in each frame that is used to switch between data and voice frames. (And works out of the box with recent codec2 versions). It wouldn't be hard to send data with the other modems as well (as they are also just frames

Hi all, Has anyone attempted to send IP protocol on HF using FreeDV? I assume it would be as simple as replacing the voice payload with IP datagrams. I have a working TCP/IP modem on VHF, however it has lower weak signal performance than FreeDV. Regards, Adrian
