We worked in a project “6POWER” to implement IPv6, including QoS and multicast
a few years ago, including the main chip set vendor for PLC, DS2, a Spanish
company, leading in this field, which was later on acquired by Marvell.
At that time, the chip sets support 802.3 by default,
All the documents are still available at:
http://www.6power.org/
I guess it will be interesting to apply 6lowpan here as well, but usually the
scope of those networks and the bandwidth available in very low cost chip sets
(clready up to 600 Mbits at that time), wat not a problem, bay be now there are
other considerations that are relevant.

Jordi

My understanding is that a quite a number of Powerline protocols are
essentially 802.15.4 with a AC-transformer rather than an antenna, and so
there is really nothing to do. The other ones which exist (going back to
X.10...) have monolithic protocol stacks, and few can run IP at all.
