We worked in a project “6POWER” to implement IPv6, including QoS and multicast a few years ago, including the main chip set vendor for PLC, DS2, a Spanish company, leading in this field, which was later on acquired by Marvell.

At that time, the chip sets support 802.3 by default, 

All the documents are still available at:

http://www.6power.org/


I guess it will be interesting to apply 6lowpan here as well, but usually the scope of those networks and the bandwidth available in very low cost chip sets (clready up to 600 Mbits at that time), wat not a problem, bay be now there are other considerations that are relevant.

Regards,
Jordi
