Address resolution The process of determining the corresponding link-layer address for an IP address on a link.
Ad hoc LoWPAN An isolated LoWPAN, not connected to any other IP networks. Ad hoc LoWPANs make use of unique local IPv6 unicast addresses (ULAs).
Anycast Send a packet from one interface to just one out of a defined set of interfaces.
Anycast address An IP address used by a set of interfaces, usually belonging to different nodes. A packet sent to an anycast address is sent to the nearest interface in that set b;y a routing protocol. An anycast address is formatted in an identical manner to a unicast address. See Section A.2 for more information on IPv6 addressing.
Availability The property that the system is available for use as intended, more specifically the security objective that the system is not subject to denial of service attacks. See Section 3.3.1.
Backbone link An IPv6 link that interconnects two or more LoWPAN Edge Routers in an Extended LoWPAN topology, two or more LLN border routers in the ROLL architecture or two or more backbone routers in ISA100.
Bootstrapping During setup of a node, the establishment of state required for operation that can be performed automatically, without human intervention. With respect to the network configuration, performed by 6LoWPAN-ND, see Section 3.2.
Border routing Routing between two different routing domains. In 6LoWPAN, border routing is performed either by the LoWPAN Edge Router or by a router on the backbone ...
