Re: [Iot-directorate] Question on IETF IOT-devices scope

["Pascal Thubert (pthubert)" <[e-mail]>]

Agreed,

I’m surprise that the question even comes up. Thread, like Wi-SUN, uses IETF (IPv6)  IoT (6LoWPAN) technology.

Certainly I’m sad that they did not go deeper, e.g., 6LoWPAN ND and RPL, like Wi-SUN did. Nonetheless, whether you choose a restrictive (battery operated, wireless, constrained) or a more open approach to what IoT is (including e.g.,  an infrastructure-assisted self-driving car), Thread is part of IoT in any fashion.

Keep safe;

Hello Samita,

My short answer : definitely “yes”.
My company and myself are interested in the interaction between IoT devices and home networks, and Thread is part of the solution space.
Best regards

Dominique

Subject: [Iot-directorate] Question on IETF IOT-devices scope

Hello All:

In pre-IETF IOT-DIRECTORATE meeting, Ted Lemon has pointed to two documents regarding connecting the Thread Mesh networks to the traditional IP Infrastructure:
1) (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-lemon-stub-networks-ps/)  - Problem Statement
2) https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-lemon-stub-networks/         - A possible solution


IoT-Directorate co-chairs and the responsible ADs would like to discuss if it makes sense to extend the IOT-Directorate charter towards less constrained devices such as some of the home devices considered as 'things'.

The charter of the directorate says : (https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/iotdir/about/)

"The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to devices, that are often constrained in communication and computation capabilities, now becoming more commonly connected to the Internet, and various services that are built on top of the capabilities these devices jointly provide. It is expected that this development will usher in more machine-to-machine communication using the Internet with no human user actively involved."

Should IoT-Directorate members consider Thread Mesh stub networks as one of topics under IOT-DIR scope of discussion or part of IoT work?

Thanks,

-Samita
