Accomplishments

• Completed and field tested IPv6 (and IPv4) network running the Cisco’s “Bubbles” manet protocol developed by Pascal Thubert (Cisco France).– “Bubbles” code is experimental and not planned for production, however, much

related work has spun off of the “Bubbles” Code.• Nested Nemo Tree Discovery draft-thubert-tree-discovery-08.txt • 6LoWPAN Neighbor Discovery draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-06• RPL: Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks draft-ietf-roll-rpl-03• Industrial Routing Requirements in Low Power and Lossy Networks draft-ietf-

roll-indus-routing-reqs-06• Developed mapping tool to provide Network monitoring.

– Need to be able to keep track of what is happening in the mobile network (what the current topology is)

• Worked with ArchRock configuring & debugging LowPan System for IPv6 operation.– Sensor that are attached to the mobile units and can be remotely accessed via

web services (browser) • Installed Panasonic IPv6 capable WebCam.
