Towards a Global IPv6 Addressing Model for the Internet of Things

摘要

This article presents a proposed reference model of IPv6 addressing plan for the Internet of Things. It starts by analyzing the IPv6 addressing structure and analyses the potential for a universal subnet addressing plan model. It continues by exploring the potential of addressing plan for the Interface ID (Host ID). It takes advantage of the work performed by the author in Mandat International and as Coordinator of the IoT6 European research project on IPv6 exploitation for the Internet of Things.
