I already familiar with Zigbee. But i want move it to 6lowpan. So can any one tell me how to start it, i have seen the http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC-6LoWPAN link. But i couldn't able to understand. My related Queries are 

1) What is Edge Router Board?. Is there any Coordinator as zigbee has.

2)How 6lowpan related to Zigbee.

3)Is there ant clear document for starting 6lowpan, as TI provided for Zigbee.

4)That document indicates Linux, for what Linux is used?

5)Where i will get the Stack of 6lowpan.

I can say that, i am new to 6lowpan, i would be grateful, if some one tells brief intro to it and how ti product will use to it. And guide me which TI Soc is for 6Lowpan.

    A sort of gateway between the Internet network and the IEEE 802.15.4 network (IoT network)

    It's not. 6LoWPAN is a IPv6 protocol over low power wireless network, while ZigBee is another protocol for wireles network. Both utilizes the IEEE 802.15.4 PHUand MAC layers.

    It depends on the solution. One place to start with is the contiki-os.

    4)That document indicates Linux, for what Linux is used?

    For example, the development of applications based on conitki requires Linux

    Refer to contiki-os. By the way, may be there are another solutions for it, however, i'm familiar with this one.
