Abstract
IEEE 802.15.4 is one of the main physical and link layer technologies that are used in IoT WPAN topologies. This chapter explores an IoT protocol stack that is built over IEEE 801.15.4 physical and link layers. Specifically, it shows how to build and deploy IEEE 802.15.4 stacks that support IPv6 connectivity by means of adaptation mechanisms that compress network and transport layer headers. As in the previous chapter, both Netualizer and Wireshark are used to accomplish this goal. The stack is further improved by incorporating session and application layers as well as an actual sensor that physically connects to the Netualizer agent by means of standard device communication technologies. Encryption and authentication are added to the transport layer to enforce security.
