The Zigbee App layer has a lot of useful functions like standardized device profiles and service/device discovery. Underneath it, the UDP layer provides a simple transport protocol and finally, the IP layer will handle the networking connections. Most suspect that 6LoWPAN will be used and it would really be a waste if it was not used. - Akiba Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:23:20 +0100 http://freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Zigbee/Zigbee-Network-Layer-Tutorial-Part-1.html#comment-452 Hi Akiba, I just come to know of yur website. I am really amazed by your dedication on Zigbee. You have mentioned that Zigbee Network Layer will be transitioning to IP. What does it means. The current Zigbee specs will be heavily changed. Is the so called transitioning to IP got anything to do with 6loWPAN Regards - Lbaerd Tue, 07 Jul 2009 18:51:57 +0100 http://freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Zigbee/Zigbee-Network-Layer-Tutorial-Part-1.html#comment-315 Thanks. Need to get the rest of the series out quick. Otherwise I'm gonna get distracted and start on something else... - Akiba Mon, 11 May 2009 11:48:35 +0100 http://freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Zigbee/Zigbee-Network-Layer-Tutorial-Part-1.html#comment-314 Thanks for the tutorial. I'm starting to plunge into ZigBee and this tutorials are just great! Keep up the good work. - DarkVenger Mon, 11 May 2009 06:06:40 +0100 http://freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Zigbee/Zigbee-Network-Layer-Tutorial-Part-1.html#comment-313 Yeah, actually the app layer has just become the most important part of Zigbee since they're transitioning to IP. It's just that trying to explain the app layer without a background in the network layer is a bit confusing. That's why I decided to try and move up the stack layer by layer. The network layer is gonna take a bit of time though since it's pretty expansive. - Akiba Sun, 10 May 2009 02:36:22 +0100 http://freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Zigbee/Zigbee-Network-Layer-Tutorial-Part-1.html#comment-312 Thanks for the tutorial. These really help me get a better understanding of how zigbee works. BTW - do you ever plan on doing a tutorial about the different profiles (home automation, etc) and how they work? I still don't understand how a device (say a light dimmer) notifies the network of what end devices it has and what it can do. I guess I'm saying is I don't quite understand where the official zigbee application layer code stops and the device specific, non standardized code starts. - Michael Sun, 10 May 2009 02:29:21 +0100
