Currently there does not seem to be any filtering in the mac layer

address but we don't discard any packets. Should we be discarding
packets at this point? For example packets of type PACKET_OTHERHOST.
If I discard all PACKET_OTHERHOST in mac802154_subif_frame it solves
my problem. I just don't know if this will effect anything else.
I think we are not supposed to discard the packets like this. This will
create the problems if routing enabled on the node.
This not problem with the IEEE-802.15.4 driver or MAC implementation.
These issues related to IPv6/ICMPv6 (ECHO request and ECHO reply). Here RFC2461/RFC4861 will
come into picture. see:http://www.tahi.org/logo/phase2-core/result/Self_Test_4-0-3/freebsd71.router/nd.p2/
Can you explain the setup..? What h/w you are using. How the network connected..?
