Description:
"Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the latest
revision of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that
provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and
routes traffic across the Internet.
Every device on the Internet must be assigned an IP address
in order to communicate with other devices. With the ever-increasing number of
new devices being connected to the Internet, the need arose for more addresses
than IPv4 is able to accommodate. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address, allowing 2128,
or approximately 3.4×1038 addresses, or more than 7.9×1028 times as many as
IPv4, which uses 32-bit addresses.'
Description:
"The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core
members of the Internet protocol suite (the set of network protocols used for
the Internet). With UDP, computer applications can send messages, in this case
referred to as datagrams, to other hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network
without prior communications to set up special transmission channels or data
paths."
Description:
"The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is intended
for use as a highly reliable host-to-host protocol between hosts in
packet-switched computer communication networks, and in interconnected systems
of such networks."
6LoWPAN
Description:"6LoWPAN is an acronym of IPv6 over Low
power Wireless Personal Area Networks. The 6LoWPAN group has defined
encapsulation and header compression mechanisms that allow IPv6 packets to be
sent to and received from over IEEE 802.15.4 based networks."
