Patrik - are you asking about 6lowpan as a way of reducing the overhead of 
IPv6?

Wi-SUN Alliance has been working on 6lowpan-over-ethernet, but mostly (as I 
understand it) for interconnecting IEEE802.15.4 networks for testing.

There is still, of course, the requirement for application protocols to 
replace all those proprietary protocols.

Yes, exactly, 6lowpan for talking to small 8-32 bit micro controllers which are 
on power lines or in small control equipment. Today they talk either modbus or 
canbus mostly.
