Greetings, A new "IPv6 over foo" I-D has been posted at draft-lynn-6man-6lobac-00<http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-lynn-6man-6lobac/> . This I-D specifies an IPv6 encapsulation for a constrained data link that I'd describe as a wired alternative to 15.4 in commercial building automation applications. The I-D provides some background material on MS/TP (the access method) as well as the required IPv6 stuff. The encapsulation and header compression schemes are derived from (and compatible with) 6LoWPAN.
I hope to get a few minutes on the 6man agenda in QC to discuss the I-D and where it belongs. I have been working closely with the ASHRAE BACnet standards committee (the owners of the MS/TP spec) and several industry sponsors on this I-D and hope it can proceed as an individual submission.

Filename: draft-lynn-6man-6lobac Revision: 00 Title: Transmission of IPv6 over MS/TP Networks Creation date: 2011-07-04 WG ID: Individual Submission Number of pages: 13 Abstract: MS/TP (Master-Slave/Token-Passing) is a contention-free access method for the TIA-485-A physical layer that is used extensively in building automation networks. This document describes the frame format for transmission of IPv6 packets and the method of forming link-local and statelessly autoconfigured IPv6 addresses on MS/TP networks. The IETF Secretariat
