A new innovation in Internet Protocol technology, called 6LoWPAN, is making the Internet of Things become a reality. 6LoWPAN is a standard from the IETF published in 2007, which optimizes IPv6 for use with low-power, low-bandwidth communication technologies such as the IEEE 802.15.4 radio. 6LoWPAN works by compressing 60 bytes of headers down to just 7 bytes, and optimizing mechanisms for wireless embedded networking.
The target for IP networking for low-power radio communication are the applications that need wireless internet connectivity at lower data rates for devices with very limited resources.
