| Arch Rock Joins IPv6 Forum Arch Rock says it has joined the IPv6 Forum. The IPv6 Forum was formed in 1999 to help create a high-quality and secure next-generation Internet with equitable worldwide access. Arch Rock uses IPv6 in its Primer Pack/IP, a WSN solution introduced in March 2007. Primer Pack/IP was the first commercial implementation of the IETF 6LoWPAN standard, created to enable wireless IPv6 communication over IEEE 802.15.4 low-power radio for sensor nodes and other devices with limited power, memory and bandwidth. By running native IPv6 beyond the WSN gateway to the sensor nodes themselves, Primer Pack/IP enables the sensor nodes to communicate directly with other IP devices across the network and permits direct node access and management. Arch Rock contributed to the 6LoWPAN standard by helping to devise a means of compressing IPv6's powerful addressing and header information to fit into small packets whose transmission consumes minimum energy. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
