I think Jennet use this to insert their own protocol between 802.15.4 and 6LoWPAN. So we have to check for this before we do anything. Having a NALP byte after re-assembly isn't valid and should be treated as an unknown compression type in my opinion. > Okay, I agree with you with the NALP dispatch.
