What is 6LoWPAN?
6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks) is a networking protocol that allows IPv6 packets to be transmitted over IEEE 802.15.4-based networks. It enables the Internet of Things (IoT) by providing a standard way to connect low-power devices to the internet using IPv6. It is commonly used in applications such as smart homes, industrial automation, and environmental monitoring.
