Problems
No method exists to make IP run over IEEE 802.15.4 networks
Worst case .15.4 PDU 81 octets, IPv6 MTU requirements 1280 octets
Stacking IP and above layers “as is” may not fit within one 802.15.4 frame
IPv6 40 octets, TCP 20 octets, UDP 8 octets + other layers (security, routing, etc) leaving few bytes for data
Not all adhoc routing protocols may be immediately suitable for LoWPAN
DSR may not fit within a packet, AODV needs more memory, etc
Current service discovery methods “bulky” for LoWPAN
Primarily XML based that needs computing, more memory, etc
Limited configuration and management necessary
Security for multi hop needs to be considered
