Protocol 6 is a machine-to-machine specification useful for building connected applications between resource constrained devices.

The main features of PR6 are:

• Stateless
• Peer-To-Peer
• Peers interact by mechanism of Remote Method Invocation
  • Objects represent application layer features
  • Classes define the characteristics of Objects
  • Peers interact with remote Objects by Methods
  • messages transport Method arguments and return values
• Extensible by applications through definition of new Classes and Objects
• Compact canonical message encoding
• Multiple method invocations per message to reduce chatter
• Method arguments and return values are defined by Class
• Per Method role based access control
• End-to-end authenticated encryption with protection against replayed messages
• Confirmed and non-confirmed invocation modes

A PR6 Peer has the following characteristics:

PR6 messages are as follows:
