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. To date, an important fraction of those
devices is based on networking technologies other than IP. An
important problem to solve in order to include them into an
IPv6-based Internet of Things, is to define a mechanism for assigning
an IPv6 address to each of them, in a way which avoids conflicts and
protocol aliasing.
The only existing proposal for such a mapping leaves many problems
unsolved and it is nowadays inadequate to cope with the new scenarios
which the Internet of Things presents. 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 interconnect through the
Internet and to fully integrate into a world wide scale, IPv6-based
IoT.
