[Tinyos-devel] b6lowpan stack release

[Stephen Dawson-Haggerty]

Hi All--

I'm happy to say that the Berkeley 6lowpan stack I've been developing
has been released into contrib . The stack is still undergoing active
development, but I think it's good enough to be useful to play around
with for people who are interested in IP.  Features include IP/UDP
header compression using HC (currently an internet-draft),
fragmentation, and multi-hop IP routing (provided by an LQI-based
multi-tree to a router and source routing up the tree).  Standard
tools like ping6, tracert6, and nc6 all work with the stack; it's also
possible to make your sensor network publicly routeable.  Missing
pieces include support for IEEE-64 addressing, and support for radios
other then the cc2420, among others...

If I've piqued your interest, there is more documentation on the
project wiki at
http://smote.cs.berkeley.edu:8000/tracenv/wiki/b6loWPAN and (of
course) the code in tinyos-2.x-contrib/berkeley/b6lowpan.  If there's
something you like or hate, or have questions, I'm interested.
However, I will be out of the country for the next week so I can't
promise I'll be quick to respond.
