Snappy Ubuntu Core compatibility

[Diego Toledo]

Hello, 

	My name is Diego Toledo, and I am doing a final project to get an engineering degree with Claudia and Patricia. We are interested in using Snappy Ubuntu Core as the OS of a Beaglebone  Black and we wanted to ask you a few queries. 

	We are working on a platform based on the internet of things whose objetive is to control and monitor electrical appliances inside a Home Area Network. To do that we intend to use a Beaglebone Black to act as a gateway and interact with periferical smart plugs to control the ON/Off  of the devices.

	Snappy has many features that make it attractive to use, such as being base on open source sw, its security system AppArmor , and the extensive community. However we are not sure if its compatible with the standard and protocols we want to use. We were wondering if you could help us confirming if it is compatible with Thread, COAP, UDP, TCP, IPV4/IPV6, 6LowPAN and Smart Energy Profile 2.0 or even if it may be available in the near future. Moreover we would be grateful If you could share with us any  technical information regarding this or the drivers needed to use those protocols. 

Thanks in advice for your attention.
Kind regards, 

Claudia, Patricia and Diego
