Abstract

This document presents a new work called 6TSCH that is starting at the IETF to enable a large IPv6 multi-link subnet with industrial-grade performances of jitter, latency and reliability. The subnet is composed of a high speed powered backbone and a number of IEEE802.15.4e TSCH wireless mesh networks attached and synchronized by specialized Backbone Routers. Route Computation may be achieved in a centralized or in a distributed fashion, and tracks are installed to forward well-known flows with deterministic properties along their multi-hop path.
