3. A very active standardization effort

In particular, the mass deployment of IPv6 sensor networks requires a major standardization effort. The constraints and characteristics of the environments in which these networks are deployed represent a major challenge for the standardization effort.

After producing a descriptive specification of an IPv6 header compression mode (RFC 4944) on low-speed personal wireless networks (IEEE 802.15.4 standard, PHY and MAC layer description for LR-WPAN – Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network ), the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) set up the roll (Routing Over Low power and Lossy networks) working group....
