Technical Summary
The Internet Protocol Suite is increasingly used on small devices
with severe constraints, creating constrained node networks. This
document provides a number of basic terms that have turned out to be
useful in the standardization work for constrained environments.
Working Group Summary
The document originally was extracted as a stable part of the LWIG guidance document that
the WG considered to be immediately useful. After extraction, additional terminology was
added on energy/power availability and usage. This document was finished collectively by a
number of people who worked in the constrained network area. The WGLC was conducted on
April 7 for two weeks. Five supports have been expressed on the mailing list, with positive
discussion.
Document Quality
This is a document that summarizes the terminologies that has been and will be used for
people and groups that are working on constrained networks. This is generally considered to be a
useful document for people to refer when they would like to find the definition of certain terms.
Experts from Philips, Orange, Ericsson reviewed the document, from the time when it still was an
individual document. Several wording details in the draft before the WGLC had been discussed
and the draft was updated to incorporate these changes.
