RFC 8930: On Forwarding 6LoWPAN Fragments over a Multi-Hop IPv6 Network

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document provides generic rules to enable the forwarding of an IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) fragment over a route-over network. Forwarding fragments can improve both end-to-end latency and reliability as well as reduce the buffer requirements in intermediate nodes; it may be implemented using RFC 4944 and Virtual Reassembly Buffers (VRBs).
