Hi, I found some documentation about compression of multicast headers. But I could not find information how multicast is mapped to 802.15.4.
In a Beacon enabled network, does every endpoint (RFD) has to wake up and receive the message from the coordinator/router (FFD) before analyzing it on IP layer and detecting, that it don't wants to have it? So this is a quit big issue, because every multicast packet would flood the complete network. As I know IPv6 can define multicast groups and addresses which are even forwarded by routers (site-local and its successor?!). So even external multicasts can flood networks with 6LoWPAN?! Or are the routers/coordinators "intelligent" enough and an endpoint (RFD) can "advise" the router/coordinator to forward the specific multicast messages? Are any information for this somewhere to be found? Thank you for your help... Kind Regards Guido Moritz ------------------------- Dipl. Ing. Guido Moritz Universitaet Rostock, Fakultaet f.
