How to solve it currently I don't know. There are two possible solutions: 1. Own 6LoWPAN netlink 2. RTNL netlink The second one I already use to dump short address over ip -6 neigh... I have patches for that somewhere. So the stateful compression is really something which doesn't has other subsystems... According (irc) myeisha suggest to add a nested netlink attribute to ROUTE RTNL commands, this would work similar like I already do with ip -6 neigh. If we do it in RTNL then we can add support for that in iproute2 and don't need to care about own 6lowpan userspace tool. Or exists there more what I have not in my mind yet to creating an own 6lowpan netlink userspace tool. >> >> 2.

I also teached the fakelb driver "edges" you can create every PHY connection "which phy talks to other phy/creating asymmetric connections/etc". I think that's a really big improve to testing routing stuff for unstrung, etc. Michael Richardson is already interested in. - Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wpan" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
