Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the 6LoWPAN standard.LoWPAN is an open standard developed by IETF. It is an IPv6 adaptation layer running on top of IEEE 802.15.4 standard. This paper reviews the history that led to the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) and how IoT evolved from simple, non-IP networks to 6LoWPAN based IP networks. In this paper, we argue why 6LoWPAN is an important building block for the future of IoT. We also describe the challenges and most important features of 6LoWPAN, including two application protocol standards CoAP and MQTT-SN that are used in 6LoWPAN. We also list some of the popular implementations of 6LoWPAN, including some Thread products based on 6LoWPAN.
