DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7973
When carried over Layer 2 technologies such as Ethernet, IPv6
datagrams using Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (LoWPAN)
encapsulation as defined in RFC 4944 must be identified so the
receiver can correctly interpret the encoded IPv6 datagram. The IETF
officially requested the assignment of an Ethertype for that purpose
and this document reports that assignment.
This document is a product of the IPv6 over Networks of Resource-constrained Nodes Working Group of the IETF.
