Contiki 2.6: IPv6 For Everything, Everywhere

Posted by Soulskill on from the your-footstool-is-broadcasting-an-IP-address dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Contiki project just released version 2.6 of its open source operating system for the Internet of Things, used to track city sound pollution, control street lights, read power meters, monitor radiation, among other things. The technology behind it? A really tiny IPv6 stack that fits in a few kilobytes of memory, allowing everything, everywhere to have an IPv6 address."
