“…Starting from a well-defined set of assumptions and a problem statement, as defined in the informational RFC 4919 [1], a solution for transmitting IPv6 packets over IEEE 802.15.4 networks was defined, resulting in RFC 4944 [15] [17], which respectively cover advanced header compression and Neighbor Discovery optimization, have updated RFC 4944. In addition to this, the working group has produced 2 other informational RFCs addressing use case descriptions (RFC 6568) [18] and routing requirements (RFC 6606) [19] and is in the process of finalizing an internet draft on the transmission of IPv6 packets over Bluetooth (draft-ietf-6lowpan-btle-11) [20].…”

Smart embedded objects will become an important part of what is called the Internet of Things. However, the integration of embedded devices into the Internet introduces several challenges, since many of the existing Internet technologies and protocols were not designed for this class of devices. In the past few years, there have been many efforts to enable the extension of Internet technologies to constrained devices. Initially, this resulted in proprietary protocols and architectures. Later, the integration of constrained devices into the Internet was embraced by IETF, moving towards standardized IP-based protocols. In this paper, we will briefly review the history of integrating constrained devices into the Internet, followed by an extensive overview of IETF standardization work in the 6LoWPAN, ROLL and CoRE working groups. This is complemented with a broad overview of related research results that illustrate how this work can be extended or used to tackle other problems and with a discussion on open issues and challenges. As such the aim of this paper is twofold: apart from giving readers solid insights in IETF standardization work on the Internet of Things, it also aims to encourage readers to further explore the world of Internet-connected objects, pointing to future research opportunities.

“…This phase is managed by the data link layer, which allows the establishment of first communications between nodes to configure channel, security keys and addressing. After the bootstrapping phase, and once the data link layer is functional, 6LoWPAN Neighbor Discovery protocol [13] that was chosen instead of the Neighbor Discovery protocol [14] because of its incompatibility with the lowpower wireless networks -is used to start the construction of the entire network through some messages exchanged between nodes that allow hosts, routers and Border Router autoconfiguration.…”

“…RPL can benefit from ND-6LoWPAN protocol [13], the adapted version of the ND protocol (Neighbour Discovery) [14] used by IPv6, responsible for the discovery of other hosts on the same link, determining their address and identifying present routers. The advantage of ND is that it provides useful information such as routing information on one-hop node, maintaining its cache information and maintaining routing information cache itself.…”

RPL (Routing Protocol for Low-power and lossy networks) is a specific routing protocol designed to optimize 6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Network) operation. As 6LoWPAN suffers from resource constraints on battery, processor, memory and bandwidth, it affects the performance of the RPL protocol. From security point of view, this will make RPL vulnerable to several threats directly or indirectly. Thus, cryptographic systems are not sufficient to protect the RPL from internal attacks; a compromised node from the network may cause undesired operation without being detected by these systems. An intrusion detection system (IDS) should be used, but it is not easy given the nature of 6LoWPAN; on a side its resource constraints, and on the other side its opening to the outside world through the Internet.In this paper we focus on denial of service (DoS) attacks, we determine the elements to be taken into account in selecting a compatible IDS and we give some solutions that we consider effective and valid for 6LoWPAN-RPL based networks.

“…One reason is the use of multicast signalling, which leads to link layer broadcast in IEEE 802.15.4 networks and consumes excessive energy and bandwidth. Another reason is that IPv6 ND does not support sleeping nodes [2].…”

“…Hence, RPL relies by default on the layer three protocol called IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND) [5]. However, it is expected that LLNs (in particular, those that use radios compatible with IEEE 802.15.4) exploit an optimized version of ND, which is currently being developed by the IETF IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) WG, denoted 6LoWPAN ND [2]. To our best knowledge, the impact of 6LoWPAN ND and the related RPL parameters on network performance has not yet been considered in the literature.…”

Abstract-The IETF ROLL WG is currently in the final steps of the specification of RPL, a new routing protocol for low power and lossy networks (e.g. wireless sensor networks). RPL may use layer two-and layer three-based mechanisms for neighbor reachability maintenance. Since layer two mechanisms may not always be available, RPL relies by default on the 6LoWPAN Neighbor Discovery, a version of the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery which is optimized for LLNs. This paper provides an analysis of the impact of various RPL and 6LoWPAN Neighbor Discovery parameter settings on the link availability and end-to-end path availability, and the related message overhead. Results show that careful tuning of the relevant parameters is critical for obtaining good network performance.
