Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document describes the applicability of IPv6 over constrained
   node networks (6lo) and provides practical deployment examples.  In
   addition to IEEE Std 802.15.4, various link layer technologies such
   as ITU-T G.9959 (Z-Wave), Bluetooth Low Energy, DECT-ULE, MS/TP, NFC,
   and PLC are used as examples.  The document targets an audience who
   would like to understand and evaluate running end-to-end IPv6 over
   the constrained node networks for local or Internet connectivity.

Working Group Summary

   The discussion and evolution of the document has been smooth with workgroup
   consensus. It is worth noting that the draft was adopted in 2016 and has
   evolved to include 6lo use cases over this period of time.

Document Quality

   This is an Informational draft describing use cases and examples of 6lo
   deployments. It described various IETF and IEEE developed standards in the
   examples.
