Okay, so MAJOR = '11' is only FRAG thing. Now I can see it and yes you
are right.

Maybe then we should something like that. For example fragmentation handling:

First evaluate the MAJOR -> goes in some function e.g. lowpan_frag_handling
or something like that and then evaluate MINOR here for FRAG1 or FRAGN.

But this is out of scope of this patch. I would accept this patch to
introduce the defines, later we can do it as cleanup.

yea, cleanup. If you like you can do it. Go into bluetooth-next. The
iphc header have also a include of the af_802154 header which is very
very bad. The thing is we need more generic EUI64 defines instead to use
the LONG_ADDRESS (correct word is EXTENDED, not LONG) defines.

EUI64 is more generic which is a synonym for an simple IEEE EUI64
address, used by 802.15.4 and bluetooth. bluetooth need to fill the
ff:fe bits to generate the EUI64 but both can also be named EUI64.

We need handling for the SHORT address, that's not EUI16 or something
else... need some special defines, it's only 802.15.4 relevant.

> The spec says that the headers of the 6LoWPAN frame must fit in the first fragment.  You need to process these headers to get to the fragmentation header, this is why the code is this way.

yes this is for IPHC dispatch values your code works, I don't want to
say that it doesn't work. Because fragmentation is something to
reconstruct the full payload, we should first evaluate the fragmentation
dispatches and then all others. To be sure that we can use fragmentation
on any dispatch value which is not the fragmentation dispatch values.
:-)

Simple move it before nalp check. Maybe somebody fragment something and
the dispatch value after fragmentation is nalp. I know it should catch
the default branch above, but it's a little bit cleaner. I hope you are
in the same opinion.

> The first part deals with the 6LoWAN header stack.  Once header stack is processed then we decompress the remaining IPv6 headers so here we also throw away frames that we don't support decompression for.  Once your NHC compression change is in I imagine this will be handled :)

ok. :-)
