This draft is a work item of the IPv6 over Low power WPAN Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Neighbor Discovery for 6LoWPAN
Author(s) : Z. Shelby, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-03.txt
Pages : 52

This document specifies Neighbor Discovery optimized for 6LoWPAN.
The 6LoWPAN format allows IPv6 to be used over energy and bandwidth
constrained wireless networks often making use of multihop
topologies. However, the use of standard IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
with 6LoWPAN has several problems. Standard Neighbor Discovery was
not designed for non-transitive wireless links, and the standard IPv6
link concept and heavy use of multicast makes it inefficient. This
document specifies a new ND mechanism allowing for the efficient
detection of duplicate addresses over entire LoWPANs while avoiding
or simplifying other ND operations. In addition it specifies context
dissemination for use with router advertisements, claim and defend
address generation, and the support of Extended LoWPANs over backbone
links.
