    <abstract>
      <t>This document defines a convergence layer for CCNx Content-Centric Networking
      (CCNx) and NDN Named Data Networking (NDN) over IEEE
      802.15.4 LoWPAN networks. Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (LoWPANs). A
      new frame format is specified to adapt CCNx
      and NDN packets to the small MTU size of IEEE 802.15.4. For that,
      syntactic and semantic changes to the TLV-based header formats are
      described. To support compatibility with other LoWPAN technologies that
      may coexist on a wireless medium, the dispatching scheme provided by
      6LoWPAN
      IPv6 over LoWPAN (6LoWPAN) is extended
      to include new dispatch types for CCNx and NDN.
      Additionally, the fragmentation component of the 6LoWPAN
      dispatching framework is applied to ICN Information-Centric Network (ICN)
      chunks. In its second part, the
      document defines stateless and stateful compression schemes to improve
      efficiency on constrained links. Stateless compression reduces TLV
      expressions to static header fields for common use cases. Stateful
      compression schemes elide state states local to the LoWPAN and replace names in
      data
      Data packets by short local identifiers.</t>

      <name>Introduction</name>
      <t>The Internet of Things (IoT) has been identified as a promising
      deployment area for Information Centric Networks Information-Centric Networking (ICN), as
      infrastructureless access to content, resilient forwarding, and
      in-network data replication demonstrated demonstrates notable advantages over the
      traditional host-to-host approach on the Internet <xref
      target="NDN-EXP1"/>, target="NDN-EXP1"
      format="default"/> <xref target="NDN-EXP2"/>. target="NDN-EXP2" format="default"/>. Recent studies <xref
      target="NDN-MAC"/>
      target="NDN-MAC" format="default"/> have shown that an appropriate mapping to link layer
      link-layer technologies has a large impact on the practical performance of an ICN.
      This will be even more relevant in the context of IoT communication
      where nodes often exchange messages via low-power wireless links under
      lossy conditions. In this memo, we address the base adaptation of data
      chunks to such link layers for the ICN flavors NDN <xref target="NDN"/> target="NDN"
      format="default"/> and CCNx <xref target="RFC8569"/>, target="RFC8569" format="default"/> <xref target="RFC8609"/>.</t>
      target="RFC8609" format="default"/>.</t>
      <t>The IEEE 802.15.4 <xref target="ieee802.15.4"/> target="ieee802.15.4" format="default"/> link layer is
      used in low-power and lossy networks (see <spanx style="verb">LLN</spanx> <tt>LLN</tt> in
      <xref target="RFC7228"/>), target="RFC7228" format="default"/>), in which devices are typically
      battery-operated
      battery operated and constrained in resources. Characteristics of LLNs
      include an unreliable environment, low bandwidth low-bandwidth transmissions, and
      increased latencies. IEEE 802.15.4 admits a maximum physical layer physical-layer
      packet size of 127 bytes. The maximum frame header size is 25 bytes,
      which leaves 102 bytes for the payload. IEEE 802.15.4 security features
      further reduce this payload length by up to 21 bytes, yielding a net of
      81 bytes for CCNx or NDN packet headers, signatures signatures, and content.</t>
      <t>6LoWPAN <xref target="RFC4944"/><xref target="RFC6282">, </xref> target="RFC4944" format="default"/> <xref target="RFC6282"
      format="default"/> is a
      convergence layer that provides frame formats, header compression compression, and
      adaptation layer
      adaptation-layer fragmentation for IPv6 packets in IEEE 802.15.4 networks. The
      6LoWPAN adaptation introduces a dispatching framework that prepends
      further information to 6LoWPAN packets, including a protocol identifier
      for payload and meta information about fragmentation.</t>
      <t>Prevalent Type-Length-Value (TLV) based packet formats based on Type-Length-Value (TLV), such as in
      CCNx and NDN NDN, are designed to be generic and extensible.  This leads to
      header verbosity verbosity, which is inappropriate in constrained environments of
      IEEE 802.15.4 links. This document presents ICN LoWPAN, a convergence
      layer for IEEE 802.15.4 motivated by 6LoWPAN. ICN LoWPAN compresses
      packet headers of CCNx CCNx, as well as NDN NDN, and allows for an increased
      effective payload size per packet. Additionally, reusing the dispatching
      framework defined by 6LoWPAN enables compatibility between coexisting
      wireless deployments of competing network technologies. This also allows to reuse of
      the adaptation layer adaptation-layer fragmentation scheme specified by 6LoWPAN for ICN LoWPAN.</t>
      <t>ICN LoWPAN defines a more space efficient space-efficient representation of CCNx and
      NDN packet formats. This syntactic change is described for CCNx and NDN
      separately, as the header formats and TLV encodings differ notably. For
      further reductions, default header values suitable for constrained IoT
      networks are selected in order to elide corresponding TLVs. Experimental
      evaluations of the ICN LoWPAN header compression schemes in <xref
      target="ICNLOWPAN"/> target="ICNLOWPAN" format="default"/> illustrate a reduced message overhead, a shortened
      message airtime, and an overall decline in power consumption for typical
      Class 2 <xref target="RFC7228"/> devices <xref target="RFC7228" format="default"/> compared to uncompressed ICN messages.</t>
      <t>In a typical IoT scenario (see <xref target="fig-iot_network"> target="fig-iot_network" format="default">
        </xref>), embedded devices are interconnected via a quasi-stationary
      infrastructure using a border router (BR) that connects the constrained
      LoWPAN network by some Gateway gateway with the public Internet. In ICN based ICN-based
      IoT networks, non-local nonlocal Interest and Data messages transparently travel
      through the BR up and down between a Gateway gateway and the embedded devices
      situated in the constrained LoWPAN.</t>

        <t>ICN LoWPAN also defines a stateless header compression scheme with
        the main purpose of reducing header overhead of ICN packets. This is
        of particular importance for link-layers link layers with small MTUs. The
        stateless compression does not require pre-configuration preconfiguration of a global
        state.</t>

        <t>The CCNx and NDN header formats are composed of Type-Length-Value
        (TLV) fields to encode header data. The advantage of TLVs is its
        native support of variably structured data. The main disadvantage of
        TLVs is the verbosity that results from storing the type and length of
        the encoded data.</t>
        <t>The stateless header compression scheme makes use of compact bit
        fields to indicate the presence of optional TLVs in the uncompressed
        packet. The order of set bits in the bit fields corresponds to the
        order of each TLV in the packet. Further compression is achieved by
        specifying default values and reducing the range of certain header
        fields.</t>
        <t><xref target="fig.TLV.compressed"/> target="fig.TLV.compressed" format="default"/> demonstrates the stateless
        header compression idea. In this example, the first type of the first
        TLV is removed and the corresponding bit in the bit field is set. The
        second TLV represents a fixed-length TLV (e.g., the Nonce TLV in NDN),
        so that the type Type and the length Length fields are removed. The third TLV
        represents a boolean TLV (e.g., the MustBeFresh selector in NDN) for

        <t>The IEEE 802.15.4 frame header does not provide a protocol
        identifier for its payload. This causes problems of misinterpreting
        frames when several network layers coexist on the same link. To
        mitigate errors, 6LoWPAN defines dispatches as encapsulation headers
        for IEEE 802.15.4 frames (see Section 5 of <xref target="RFC4944"/>). target="RFC4944" section="5" sectionFormat="of" format="default"/>).
        Multiple LoWPAN encapsulation headers can precede the actual payload payload,
        and each encapsulation header is identified by a dispatch type.</t>
<!-- [rfced] In the following sentence, should "dispatch table" be instead "dispatch Page"?

Current:
   When a LoWPAN parser encounters a Page switch
   LoWPAN encapsulation header, all following encapsulation headers are
   interpreted by using a dispatch table, as specified by the Page
   switch header.

Perhaps:
   When a LoWPAN parser encounters a Page switch
   LoWPAN encapsulation header, all following encapsulation headers are
   interpreted by using a dispatch Page, as specified by the Page
   switch header.

        following encapsulation headers are interpreted by using a dispatch

        <t>This Name TLV compression encodes length Length fields of two consecutive
        NameComponent TLVs into one byte, using a nibble for each.
        The most significant nibble indicates the length of an immediately following NameComponent TLV.
        The least significant nibble denotes the length of a subsequent NameComponent TLV.
        A length of 0 marks the end of the compressed Name TLV.
        The last length Length field of an encoded NameComponent is either 0x00 for a name with an even number of components, components
        and 0xYF (Y > &gt; 0) if an odd number of components are present.
        This process limits the length of a NameComponent TLV to 15 bytes, bytes but allows for an unlimited number of components.

            level higher-level
	    specifications. For the compression specified in the
            previous section, the Hop-By-Hop hop-by-hop TLVs are ordered as follows:

<!-- [rfced]  Does listing the TLVs improve the readability of the sentence?
Should the following TLVs be in 'camel case'? "Message Hash" and "Recommended Cache Time"

Current (Sections 6.3.2.1 and 6.4.2.1):
   Note: Other Hop-By-Hop Header hop-by-hop header TLVs than those two remain uncompressed
   in the encoded message, and they appear in the same order as in the
   original message but after the InterestLifetime TLV and Message Hash
   TLV.

   Note: Other hop-by-hop header TLVs than those two remain uncompressed
   in the encoded message, and they appear in the same order as in the
   original message but after the Recommended Cache Time TLV and Message
   Hash TLV.

Perhaps:
   Note: All hop-by-hop header TLVs other than the InterestLifetime and
   MessageHash TLVs remain uncompressed in the encoded message, and they
   appear after the InterestLifetime and MessageHash TLVs in the same
   order as in the original message.

      <t>
        Valid time offsets in CCNx and NDN reach range from a few
        milliseconds (e.g., lifetime of low-latency Interests) to
        several years (e.g., content freshness periods in caches).
        Therefore, this document adds two modifications to the
        compression algorithm.
      </t>
      <t>
        The first modification is the inclusion of a subnormal form
        <xref target="IEEE.754.2019"/> target="IEEE.754.2019" format="default"/> for time-codes with exponent
        0 to provide an increased precision and a gradual underflow
        for the smallest numbers. The formula is changed as
        follows (a := mantissa; mantissa, b := exponent):

        This target="RFC5497" format="default"/>)

      </dl>
      <t>This configuration allows for the following ranges:

        <list style="symbols">

          <t>Context
          </li>
          <li>The context state (<xref
          target="stateful.compression.local"/>) target="stateful.compression.local"
 format="default"/>) holds information
          that is shared between a set of devices in a LoWPAN. Fixed
          name prefixes and suffixes are good candidates to be
          distributed to all nodes in order to elide them from request
          and response messages. More experience and a deeper
          inspection of currently available and upcoming protocol
          features is necessary to identify other protocol fields.</t>

          <t>The fields.</li>
          <li>The distribution and synchronization of the contextual state
          can potentially be adopted from Section 7.2 of <xref
          target="RFC6775"/>, target="RFC6775" section="7.2" sectionFormat="of" format="default"/> but requires further evaluations. While
          6LoWPAN uses the Neighbor Discovery protocol to disseminate
          state, CCNx and NDN deployments are missing out on a
          standard mechanism to bootstrap and manage
          configurations.</t>

          <t>The
          configurations.</li>
          <li>The stateful en-route compression (<xref
          target="stateful.compression.en-route"/>) target="stateful.compression.en-route" format="default"/>) supports a limited
          number of 127 distinct HopIDs that can be simultaneously in
          use on a single node. Complex deployment scenarios that make
          use of multiple, concurrent requests can provide a better
          insight on the number of open requests stored in the Pending
          Interest Table
          PIT of memory-constrained devices. This number
          can serve as an upper-bound upper bound and determines whether the HopID
          length needs to be resized to fit more HopIDs to at the cost of
          additional header overhead.</t>

          <t>Multiple overhead.</li>
          <li>Multiple implementations that generate and deploy the
          compression options of this memo in different ways will also
          add to the experience and understanding of the benefits and
          limitations of the proposed schemes. Different reports can
          help to illuminate on the complexity of implementing ICN
          LoWPAN for constrained devices, as well as on maintaining
          interoperability with other implementations.</t>

      <name>Security Considerations</name>
      <t>Main memory is typically a scarce resource of constrained networked
      devices. Fragmentation Fragmentation, as described in this memo memo, preserves fragments and
      purges them only after a packet is reassembled, which requires a
      buffering of all fragments. This scheme is able to handle fragments for
      distinctive packets simultaneously, which can lead to overflowing packet
      buffers that cannot hold all necessary fragments for packet reassembly.
      Implementers are thus urged to make use of appropriate buffer
      replacement strategies for fragments. Minimal fragment forwarding
      <xref target="RFC8930"/> target="RFC8930" format="default"/> can potentially prevent fragment buffer saturation in forwarders.</t>
      <t>The stateful header compression generates ephemeral HopIDs for
      incoming and outgoing Interests and consumes them on returning Data
      packets. Forged Interests can deplete the number of available HopIDs,
      thus leading to a denial of compression service for subsequent content
      requests.</t>
      <t>To further alleviate the problems caused by forged fragments or
      Interest initiations, proper protective mechanisms for accessing the
      link-layer
      link layer should be deployed. IEEE 802.15.4, e.g., provides capabilities to protect frames and restrict them to a point-to-point link, link or a group of devices.</t>

      <t>In the following following, a theoretical evaluation is given to estimate the
      gains of ICN LoWPAN compared to uncompressed CCNx and NDN messages.</t>
      <t>We assume that <spanx style="verb">n</spanx> <tt>n</tt> is the number of name
      components, <spanx style="verb">comps_n</spanx>
      components; <tt>comps_n</tt> denotes the sum of n
      name component lengths. We also assume that the length of each name
      component is lower than 16 bytes. The length of the content is given by
      <spanx style="verb">clen</spanx>.
      <tt>clen</tt>. The lengths of TLV components is are
      specific to the CCNx or NDN encoding and are outlined below.</t>
      <section title="NDN"> numbered="true" toc="default">
        <name>NDN</name>
        <t>The NDN TLV encoding has variable-sized TLV fields. For simplicity,
        the 1 byte 1-byte form of each TLV component is assumed. A typical TLV
        component therefore is of size 2 (type (Type field + length Length field) + the
        actual value.</t>

<!--[rfced] Throughout the text, the following terminology appears to be used inconsistently. Please review these occurences and let us know if/how they may be made consistent.

context state vs. contextual state
ContextID vs. CID
Sigtime vs. SignatureTime

Ranges are also formatted inconsistently:
"range (1...127)" vs "range [128;252]"

<!-- [rfced] Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of the online Style Guide <https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language> and let us know if any changes are needed. For example, please consider whether "traditional" or "native" should be updated for clarity.

While the NIST website <https://www.nist.gov/nist-research-library/nist-technical-series-publications-author-instructions#table1> indicates that "traditional" is potentially biased, it is also ambiguous.  "Tradition" is a subjective term, as it is not the same for everyone.
