6LoWPAN
6LoWPAN is an acronym of IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks. 6LoWPAN is the name of a concluded working group in the Internet area of the IETF. Wikipedia
The 6LoWPAN concept originated from the idea that "the Internet Protocol could and should be applied even to the smallest devices" and that low-power devices with limited processing capabilities should be able to participate in the Internet of Things. Wikipedia
Examples
Setup a 6LoWPAN network. If you’re familiar with 802.15.4 Wireless Sensor Networks, you could easily setup your Raspberry Pi as a border router, that would expose the CoAP server on its radio interface. You could then use e.g. Contiki and the Erbium CoAP client to write a simple app that will run on a mote and talk CoAP to read the temperature, or control the LED!
