Dear Expert Team,
Is it possible, connect Zigbee nodes to 6LoWPAN nodes and they can talk each other!
Best regards, Mahbu

Hi Mahbu,
Zigbee nodes and 6LowPAN nodes cannot talk directly to each other, as they are different protocols. Both runs on the same physical layer, the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, but while 6LowPAN nodes are IP-addressable, Zigbee nodes are not. It should be possible to create a bridge between the two standards. There is also some effort being put into the Thread protocol (which runs on 6LowPAN) to allow you to run the Zigbee's Universal Language on the IPv6 based Thread network, for interoperable IoT networks.
Best regards,
Jørgen
Dear Jorgen,
Many thanks you for your nice answer what I am actually looking.
Could you please provide any blog/document/tutorial where I can find how to run/install Thread protocol on 6LoWPAN since I have already developed 6LoWPAN based mesh network and want to connect Zigbee nodes. It will be really helpful for me.
Best regards, Mahbu
