Functional Description: OpenSCHC is a OpenSource Implementation of SCHC (Static Context Header Compression) currently being standardized by the LPWAN Working Group at the IETF. Oversimplifying, this is essentially IPv6 compression and fragmentation intended for low datarate, long range IoT networks.
The short/medium term goal is to organize SCHC Hackathons that occur at the IETF meetings.
The long term wish is to have a stable, open-source, reference codebase for the SCHC protocol (in Python).
