There should be a niche for both at the same time. LoRaWAN is relevant right now and we should aim for making it possible to run a native Linux gateway for it. As for IP for long range low power there is the static context header compression draft to adapt IPv6 to the characteristics for some use cases of such networks. Implementing it within the existing 6lwopan subsystem should be possible. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-lpwan-ipv6-static-context-hc-16 regards Stefan Schmidt
