Minimal IPv6 over the TSCH Mode of IEEE 802.15.4e (6TiSCH) Configuration

This document describes a minimal mode of operation for an IPv6 overthe TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e (6TiSCH) network. This minimal mode ofoperation specifies the baseline set of protocols that need to besupported and the recommended configurations and modes of operationsufficient to enable a 6TiSCH functional network. 6TiSCH provides IPv6connectivity over a Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) mesh composedof IEEE Std 802.15.4 TSCH links. This minimal mode uses a collectionof protocols with the respective configurations, including the IPv6Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) framework, enablinginteroperable IPv6 connectivity over IEEE Std 802.15.4 TSCH. Thisminimal configuration provides the necessary bandwidth for network andsecurity bootstrapping and defines the proper link between the IETFprotocols that interface to IEEE Std 802.15.4 TSCH. This minimal modeof operation should be implemented by all 6TiSCH-compliant devices.
