“…Nanostack is an open-source stack, Nanostack authors and users never created proper documentation of the internal logic of the stack. We provided the first documentation of the stack in [5], documenting and analyzing its internal architecture. This paper extends our previous work documenting Nanostack [5], explaining in detail the main logic implemented in the MAC layer and introducing the NRP layer.…”

“…In Section 3 we introduce the architecture of the stack. In the sections that follow (4,5,6, and 7) we introduce and explain the operation of each one of the layers in the stack, except the ICMP layer that is not covered in our descriptions. In Section 8 we describe the NRP layer and the case when a sensor node works as Gateway.…”

There exist several open source 6LoWPAN stacks for researchers to experiment with. However, they often lack sufficient and in-depth description of the internal operation, which makes extending the stacks difficult for many of us. This paper is an extended version of our previous work documenting the internal logic of an implemented and working 6LoWPAN stack, Nanostack (v1.1). We present first the main architecture of the stack and subsequently describe the path followed by a packet transiting the different layers. Then we provide details of each one of the layers in the stack, with exception of the ICMP layer. The main logic in the MAC layer is comprehensively explained, and an undocumented layer used in nodes working as Gateway, the NRP layer, is presented. In addition we provide a conceptual view of the layering of the stack relative to the hardware platform and enumerate the typical tasks running in a sensor node.
