[PATCH 1/3] bluetooth: 6lowpan: search for destination address in all peers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Handle overlooked case where the target address is assigned to a peer
and neither route nor gateway exist.

For one peer, no checks are performed to see if it is meant to receive
packets for a given address.

As soon as there is a second peer however, checks are performed
to deal with routes and gatways for handling complex setups with
multiple hops to a target address.
This logic assumed that no route and no gatway imply that the
destination address can not be reached, which is false in case of a
direct peer.
