ARM Mesh networking stack
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
This repository contains the ARM mesh networking stack that provides support for the following mesh protocols:
|
|
|
|
* 6LoWPAN with Neighbor Discovery (ND) and Mesh Link Establishment (MLE)
|
|
* Wi-SUN
|
|
|
|
All networking stacks are using IEEE 802.15.4 based radios.
|
|
|
|
The full documentation is hosted in [Mbed OS documentation](https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/latest/reference/mesh-tech.html).
|
|
|
|
On mbed OS, mesh networking stacks can be used through [Mbed Mesh API](https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/latest/apis/mesh-api.html) and [Network Socket API](https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/latest/apis/network-socket.html).
|
|
|
|
To see, how the mesh networking stack works, check the example application [mbed-os-example-mesh-minimal](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-mesh-minimal).

|
## 6LoWPAN with ND and MLE
|
|
|
|
This networking stack is using standard 6LoWPAN and uses:
|
|
|
|
* Neighbor Discovery Protocol ([RFC4861](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861)) to locate other devices in the mesh network.
|
|
* Mesh-Link-Establishment ([draft-kelsey-intarea-mesh-link-establishment-06](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kelsey-intarea-mesh-link-establishment-06)) is used for establishing and configuring secure radio links.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Wi-SUN
|
|
Wi-SUN (Smart Utility Networks) specification is standardized by [Wi-SUN Alliance](https://www.wi-sun.org/).
