discuss Where do you see domaining in 5 years?

Just interested in people's perspective on this. I realize it's a broad question.

Hi @Super-Annuation

Let me focus on the use of IPv6 in sensor networks a little bit more.

TCP/IP was designed long ago to operate in unreliable and slow, high latency environments. Sensor networks are often unreliable and slow, so this would not be a problem. However, sensor nodes have limited processors, limited memory, limited radio capacity and are low cost. It's all about energy saving. Security mechanisms are needed for communication between nodes (i.e. in a mesh) in unsafe sensor environments, but new security mechanisms have been developed instead of using IPSEC in these networks.

You may have a look at the Thread initiative, which uses 6LoWPAN (a stripped-for-efficiency-version of IPv6). There's also an open source version OpenThread, released by Google.

Below are some good pointers. It's too much to elaborate further in this thread about Domaining (unless you see some nice terms in these papers that are not TM, and register some domains in this interesting field). I'm sure you'll find lots of useful information -- enjoy

I'll read this tomorrow. I'm looking forward to them because the smallest idea on where to find such writings lol
