Contiki provides three network mechanisms: the [[uIP (micro IP)|uIP]] TCP/IP stack,<ref>{{Citation |first= Adam |last= Dunkels |contribution= Full TCP/IP for 8 Bit Architectures |title= Proceedings of the First ACM/Usenix International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications and Services (MobiSys) |place= San Francisco |date=May 2003}}</ref> which provides [[IPv4]] networking, the uIPv6 stack,<ref>{{Citation |first1= Mathilde |last1= Durvy |first2= Julien |last2= Abeillé |first3= Patrick |last3= Wetterwald |first4= Colin |last4= O'Flynn |first5= Blake |last5= Leverett |first6= Eric |last6= Gnoske |first7= Michael |last7= Vidales |first8= Geoff |last8= Mulligan |first9= Nicolas |last9= Tsiftes |first10= Niclas |last10= Finne |first11= Adam |last11= Dunkels |contribution= Making sensor networks IPv6 ready |title= Proceedings of the Sixth ACM Conference on Networked Embedded Sensor Systems (SenSys) |publisher= ACM |type= poster session |place= Raleigh, [[North Carolina|NC]], [[United States of America|US]] |date=November 2008}}</ref> which provides [[IPv6]] networking, and the Rime stack, which is a set of custom lightweight networking protocols designed for low-power wireless networks. The IPv6 stack was contributed by Cisco and was, when released, the smallest IPv6 stack to receive the ''IPv6 Ready'' certification.<ref>{{Citation |publisher= Cisco |title= Newsroom |year= 2008 |url= http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/2008/prod_101408e.html}}.</ref> The IPv6 stack also contains the ''Routing Protocol for Low power and Lossy Networks'' (RPL) routing protocol for low-power lossy IPv6 networks and the [[6LoWPAN]] header compression and adaptation layer for [[IEEE 802.15.4]] links.

Rime is an alternative network stack, for use when the overhead of the IPv4 or IPv6 stacks is prohibitive. The Rime stack provides a set of communication primitives for low-power wireless systems. The default primitives are single-hop unicast, single-hop broadcast, multi-hop unicast, network flooding, and address-free data collection. The primitives can be used on their own or combined to form more complex protocols and mechanisms.<ref>{{Citation |first1= Adam |last1= Dunkels |first2= Fredrik |last2= Österlind |first3= Zhitao |last3= He |contribution= An adaptive communication architecture for wireless sensor networks |title= Proceedings of the Fifth ACM Conference on Networked Embedded Sensor Systems (SenSys) |place= Sydney, [[Australia|AU]] |date=November 2007}}.</ref>
