The LLNgateway (e.g. Thermostat in the Nest case) has wifi or wired
ethernet as well as the 15.4 radio. Some of these gateways already run
*WRT, some are powered (sometimes PoE) versions of LLN platforms, and so are
rather small. While doing the latter is popular among makers of the LLN
platform, because it's something they know, going forward, it won't work,
because you need a less constrained management node.

Contiki is very popular.
