A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8352 Title: Energy-Efficient Features of Internet of Things Protocols Author: C. Gomez, M. Kovatsch, H. Tian, Z. Cao, Ed. Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: April 2018 Mailbox: carlesgo@entel.upc.edu, ietf@kovatsch.net, tianhui@ritt.cn, zhencao.ietf@gmail.com Pages: 24 Characters: 61936 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-lwig-energy-efficient-08.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8352 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8352 This document describes the challenges for energy-efficient protocol operation on constrained devices and the current practices used to overcome those challenges. It summarizes the main link-layer techniques used for energy-efficient networking, and it highlights the impact of such techniques on the upper-layer protocols so that they can together achieve an energy-efficient behavior. The document also provides an overview of energy-efficient mechanisms available at each layer of the IETF protocol suite specified for constrained-node networks. This document is a product of the Light-Weight Implementation Guidance Working Group of the IETF. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
