~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's assume you want to setup a 6lowpan test network of six nodes.
+Each of them will be created in their own net namespace to avoid
+local IPv6 optimizations. Each netns is named according to the wpan
+interface which available in the net namespace.

Now let us send some data over our network:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-wireshark -kSl -i lowpan0 &
-# get the IPv6 address of lowpan1
-lowpan1addr="$(ip addr show lowpan1 | grep inet6 \
- | sed 's,.*inet6 \([^/]*\).*,\1,')"
-# tell ping6 to ping the IPv6 address of lowpan1 and send it via
-# lowpan0
-ping6 ${lowpan1addr}%lowpan0
+ip netns exec wpan0 wireshark -kSl -i lowpan0 &
+# ping all nodes
+ip netns exec wpan0 ping6 ff02::1%lowpan0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now watch wireshark and all the nice ICMP packets there.
