Sometime ago there was a draft on 6lowpan-over-powerline and it was presented at IETF 6lo WG. However there was no follow-up after that: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-popa-6lo-6loplc-ipv6-over-ieee19012-networks-00 In addition, G3-PLC uses 6loWPAN adaptation over power-line (using mesh headers). http://www.g3-plc.com/content/g3-plc-benefits Other efforts: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6525839&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fiel7%2F6520967%2F6525799%2F06525839.pdf%3Farnumber%3D6525839 https://hal.inria.fr/inria-00563226/document Thanks, -Samita -----Original Message----- From: ietf [mailto:ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carsten Bormann Sent: Monday, March 28, 2016 6:26 AM To: Patrik Fältström Cc: IETF discussion list Subject: Re: 6lowpan over wire, specifically over powerline?
