In my opinion:

So the currently known other upper layer protocol is 6LoWPAN. According
to 6LoWPAN dispatches [0]:

00 xxxxxx       0       NALP

so the wpan-ping dataframe should start with the bit pattern 00.

Then for extra stuff the payload should do some checksum stuff, e.g.
ICMPv6 at tail -> if it doesn't match drop it.

Then most frames will be filtered, the rest is the usual header parsing,
if it doesn't match there -> drop it.

Wait for original author Stefan, for his opinion... I do here some
suggestions only.
