基于IEEE 802.15.4实现IPv6通信的IETF 6LoWPAN草案标准的发布有望改变这一局面。6LoWPAN所具有的低功率运行的潜力使它很适合应用在从手持机到仪器的设备中，而其对AES-128加密的内置支持为强健的认证和安全性打下了基础。(802.15.4 based IEEE IPv6 implementation of the draft IETF 6LoWPAN standard release is expected to change this situation. The potential of 6LoWPAN's low power operation makes it ideal for applications from handheld devices to instrumentation, and its built-in support for AES-128 encryption lays the foundation for robust authentication and security.)
