Hi everybody,

I am addressing the problem of application level protocol compatibility between Internet and 6LowPan networks. As you may know current Internet protocols (http,xmpp...) make use of too heavy headers... my opinion is that a protocol transformation is required at gateway level, that is, current Internet protocols should be compressed/transformed once they reach a low power losy network...

what's the approach at 6LowApp? anyone knows ongoing work on that issue?

regards,
xavier
