EFFICIENT NETWORK LAYER FOR IPv6 PROTOCOL

摘要

An electronic device may include a network interface that may enable the electronic device to wirelessly couple the electronic device to other electronic devices. The electronic device may also include a processor that may determine at least one data path to the other electronic devices using a Routing Information Protocol-Next Generation (RIPng) routing mechanism. After identifying at least one data path to the other electronic devices, the processor may determine whether the identified data path(s) is secure using a Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. If the identified data path(s) is determined to be secure, the processor may send Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) data packets to the other electronic devices via the secure data path(s).

主权项

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a network interface configured to wirelessly couple the electronic device to at least one other electronic device; and a processor configured to:
determine at least one data path to the at least one other electronic device using a Routing Information Protocol-Next Generation (RIPng) routing mechanism via the network interface;determine whether the at least one data path is a secure connection using a Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol; andsend one or more Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) data packets to the at least one other electronic device via the at least one data path if the at least one data path is secure.
