Hello Saku I do not share that view: 1) Thread uses 6LoWPAN so nodes are effectively IPv6 even though it doesn’t show in the air. 2) Wi-Sun is not Thread and it is already deployed by millions. 3) even LoRa (1.1.1) is going IPv6, using SCHC. Regards, Pascal

On a more positive note, the IPv6 IoT can be seen as an experiment on how we can scale the internet another order of magnitude or 2 without taking the power or the spectrum consumption to the parallel levels.
I think at least the next 20 years of IoT is thread (and wifi for high BW)+matter, and IoT devices won't have IP that is addressable even from the user LAN, you go via GW, none of which you configure.
Some bits of if look unnecessarily forced perspective, like the addressing scheme, instead of inlining your role in PDU we use this cutesy addressing scheme looks like bit forced marketing of IPv6, doesn't seem necessary but also not really an important decision either way. Overall I think thread+matter are well designed and they make me quite optimistic of reasonable IoT outcomes.
