I’m always a bit confused what does thread add on top of 6LoWPAN?
- oflannabhra 4y agoA lot. Mesh routing, security, onboarding, and more. 6LoWPAN pretty much only describes how to compress IPv6 headers into 802.15.5 packet sizes
- pantalaimon 4y agoIs Mesh routing RPL or something else?
- oflannabhra 4y agoIt is not RPL. Thread defines it’s own routing algorithm, specifically to solve two key problems: a single point-of-failure from a single border router, and to allow for ephemeral, sleepy devices. It is similar to RIPng.
