Hi Stefan, I'm sorry if my question would be too stupid or shallow, I just want to make sure because I'm really new to this. I have run an example from [1] on client-server model using UDP and IPv6. To run this example, on the client side I run the command: "listener <IPv6 of another machine for lowpan interface>%lowpan0 the-payload-is-here" According to [2], <IPv6 address>%<interface's name> notation means the machine will try to communicate to <IPv6 address> machine through the <interface's name> interface. Hence, I basically have run client/server program with Linux IPv6 over the lowpan0 interface. Alexander Aring gave me a good presentation slide [3] and on page 12 it is clearly written that Linux still uses AF_INET6 for 6LoWPAN. I just want to make sure whether my approach on making client-server model over 6LoWPAN is right. I am not sure because I don't know whether the IPv6 header is compressed using 6LoWPAN adaptation layer.
