Technical Summary
Power Line Communication (PLC), namely using the electric-power lines
for indoor and outdoor communications, has been widely applied to
support Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), especially smart
meters for electricity. The inherent advantage of existing
electricity infrastructure facilitates the expansion of PLC
deployments, and moreover, a wide variety of accessible devices
raises the potential demand of IPv6 for future applications. This
document describes how IPv6 packets are transported over constrained
PLC networks, such as ITU-T G.9903, IEEE 1901.1 and IEEE 1901.2.
