6LoWPAN is a standard defined by the IETF, Internet Engineering Task Force.

Perfectly suited for low-power devices such as smarts objects, sensors and other automation objects, the 6LoWPAN protocol built the Internet of Things, facilitating access to an IP address to small devices.

Internet Protocol version 6, IPv6, is the latest version of Internet Protocol network. More sophisticated than IPv4, it is considered the future of Internet.

The advantage of the IPv6 protocol is its infinite stock of addresses, equivalent to 3.4 × 10³⁸ addresses. The IPv4 protocol, used traditionally, being short of IP addresses, the switch to Ipv6 is inevitable, especially with the proliferation of small devices, like smartphones and other connected objects.

RPL is an IPv6 routing protocol Distant Vector for Low Power and Lossy Networks.
