How different is AD6LoWPAN from Contiki OS based implementation?

Original Question: How different is AD6LoWPAN from Contiki OS based implementation? by NagarjunaG

How different is AD6LoWPAN from Contiki OS based implementation? List the main differences if any?


Verified Answer: RE: How different is AD6LoWPAN from Contiki OS based implementation? by NagarjunaG

AD6LoWPAN is based on Contiki solution on Analog Devices ADuCRF101 (Integrated Sub-GHz radio transceiver with Cortex M3), with certain upgrades as listed below:

 

  • Contiki is open source lightweight sensor OS for IoT.
  • Contiki 2.5 is the starting point for AD6LoWPAN, with platform support added for ADuCRF101
  • uIPv6 is the key component of Contiki distribution that is used in AD6LoWPAN

 

The following lists of standards have been upgraded in AD6LoWPAN stack.

  • RFC 6550: RPL: IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Network
  • RFC 6282: Compression Format for IPv6 Datagrams over IEEE 802.15.4-based Networks
  • RFC 6775: Neighbor Discovery Optimization for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks
