schc-rs

Faster low power networking for constrained devices

Static Context Header Compression (SCHC), defined in RFC 8724, is a framework designed to provide efficient header compression and fragmentation for constrained devices in Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs). The IETF has been working on standardizing SCHC over IEEE 802.15.4 networks, which are commonly used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The aim of schc-rs is to provide a Rust implementation of the SCHC protocol, enabling developers to leverage its benefits in their Rust-based applications. Together with the dot15d4-rs project and the smoltcp network stack, schc-rs aims to provide a future-proof solution for IoT devices communicating over IEEE 802.15.4 networks.
