For wireless sensor networks to reach their full potential they need to be able to interoperate with external IPv6 based networks. This can be achieved using the light-weight 6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks) communications protocol that has been designed to operate within the limited processing, memory and energy power constraints associated with Wireless Sensor Networks. In this paper the TinyOS Berkeley 6LoWPAN implementation is configured, deployed and tested on both the MICAz and the TelosB sensor architectures. A performance evaluation of point-to-point communications from a computer to a sensor mote is then carried out over an IPv6/6LoWPAN network.
