emb::6 is a scalable C-based 6LoWPAN stack for embedded devices developed by the Laboratory of Embedded Systems and Communication Electronics (ESK) at Offenburg University of Applied Sciences (HSO) under supervision of Prof. Dr. Axel Sikora (axel.sikora@hs-offenburg.de).

Originally derived from Contiki several adaptations have been made such as the removal of proto-threads. It follows a strict layer based architecture with a modular software design allowing it to be used even on very restricted devices.
