6LoWPAN stands for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks. It is a communication protocol that allows IPv6 packets to be sent and received over IEEE 802.15.4-based low-power wireless networks, commonly used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
6LoWPAN provides the upper layer system for use with low power wireless communications for IoT and M2M, originally intended for 802.15.4, it is now used with many other wireless standards. The 6LoWPAN system is used for a variety of applications including wireless sensor networks.

Now that IoT now being discussed ad nauseum, we should have a look at something that has a good possibility of being its main underpinning – 802.15.4 and 6LoWPAN networking. The choices you have for ...
IoT infrastructure specialist 1248 has announced an ARM powered IoT access point based on the 6LoWPAN wireless standard. Called HyperWeave, the device is said to provide 'IP to the edge' connectivity, ...
ZDNet: IBM and Libelium release a 6LoWPAN development platform for IoT applications
The 6LoWPAN group defined encapsulation, header compression, neighbor discovery and other mechanisms that allow IPv6 to operate over IEEE 802.15.4 based networks.
6LoWPAN stands for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks. It’s a communication protocol designed to enable small, low-power devices to connect over wireless networks.
As the full name implies – “IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks” – 6LoWPAN is a networking technology or adaptation layer that allows IPv6 packets to be carried eficiently within small link layer frames, such as those defined by IEEE 802.15.4.
