To enable 6LoWPAN on a form of communication media such as 802.15.4 there is a set of recommended features necessary to support an IP protocol. These features include framing, unicast transmission, and addressing. As shown in the following figure, the physical layer is responsible for receiving and converting data bits over the air. For this example, the link layer we speak to is IEEE 802.15.4. On top of the physical layer is the data link layer, responsible for detecting and correcting errors on the physical link. Detailed information on the physical and data link layer of 802.15.4 are covered earlier in this chapter. Here is the comparison between the 6LoWPAN stack and the OSI model:
