Abstract:
IPv6 is an important enabler of the Internet of Things, since it
provides an addressing space large enough to encompass a vast and
ubiquitous set of sensors and devices, allowing them to interconnect
and interact seamlessly. Many of those devices presently are based
on networking technologies other than IP. In order to include them
into an IPv6 based Internet of Things, a mechanism for assigning an
IPv6 address to each of them is required.
The only existing proposal for a standard way of assigning an IPv6
address to devices which do not support IPv6 or IPv4, is very
generic, it leaves many problems unsolved and it is nowadays
inadequate to cope with the new scenarios opened by the Internet of
Things. This document defines a mechanism, 6TONon-IP, for assigning
automatically an IPv6 address to devices which do not support IPv6 or
IPv4, in a way which minimizes the chances of address conflicts, and
of frequent configuration changes due to instability of connection
among devices. Such a mapping mechanism enables stateless
autoconfiguration for legacy technology devices, allowing them to to
interconnect through the Internet and to fully integrate into a world
wide scale IPv6 IoT.
