The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 over Low power WPAN WG
(6lowpan) to consider the following document:
- 'Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Bluetooth Low Energy'
<draft-ietf-6lowpan-btle-08.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-07-11. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
Abstract
Bluetooth Low Energy is a low power air interface technology defined
by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (BT-SIG). The standard
Bluetooth radio has been widely implemented and available in mobile
phones, notebook computers, audio headsets and many other devices.
The low power version of Bluetooth is a new specification and enables
the use of this air interface with devices such as sensors, smart
meters, appliances, etc. The low power variant of Bluetooth is
commonly specified in revision 4.0 of the Bluetooth specifications
and commonly refered to as Bluetooth 4.0. This document describes
how IPv6 is transported over Bluetooth Low Energy using 6LoWPAN
techniques.
