IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs) works as an adaptation layer in the data link portion of the protocol stack. It adapts wireless standard IEEE 802.15.4 devices to communicate using IPv6. This makes communication over the internet much easier since IP is the lingua franca.
6LoWPAN optimizes the IPv6 datagram transmission over low-power and lossy networks. One of the ways it does this is through header compression. This reduces the addressing information in the data packet down to a few bytes.
Security can be implemented with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-128 encryption at the link layer. Transport ...
