The 6LoWPAN Neighbor Discovery protocol (RFC6775) is an optimized version of the
standard IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol. 6LoWPAN-ND uses the same standard
ND (RFC4861) messages (ICMPv6) with some additional options (ARO , 6CO and ABRO).
Two new messages (DAR and DAC) have been added to consider the support of Neighbor Discovery
for bootstrapping, header compression, mobility, fault tolerance, etc.
We implemented 6LoWPAN-ND for linux kernel 3.12, which handles ARO option
in NS(Neighbour Solicitation) and sends NA (Neighbour Advertisement) with
updated ARO option as per RFC6775. We may send you the patches for this implementation.
And we implemented handling of DAR and DAC.
Did you have solve the issue between short and extended address? For
RFC6775 we need also context based address compression, we don't support
this mainline right now.
We only supported extended address. We did not include the context based
address compression.
If yes then you can send me these patches.
Handing of RS (Router Solicitation) and RA (Router Advertisement) will take care
by radvd (Router Advertisement Daemon) in Linux. We added the ABRO and 6CO option
support in radvd. You can find the implementation in [1].

I see you use the ContextID there, then you need the CID value from
6LoWPAN header there. I am very interest for patches which introduce
context based address compression and make it also available in
userspace to handle the ContextID with radvd.
Right now we providing the contextID from user space through radvd.conf.
Context based implementation is not supported so we are only using the
context identifier from user space.
Thanks.
