Having a router in between seems sensible to me. You can get uIPv6 somewhere
small, so I don't see having a simple router as a big problem...

Hi Carsten,

these sounds like some serious architectural concerns with IPv6. Should 
these really be dealt with by an adaptation layer that defines how to 
transport IPv6 packets over a particular link layer? I am not too 
accustomed to IETF practices, but isn't there a wg specifically for the 
purpose of forwarding the IPv6 architecture (6man) where issues like 
these should be raised?

Also, one specific question: how would an IPv6 host deal with an 
802.15.4 network interface if the IPv6 adaptation layer would require 
changes to the core of the IPv6 stack to function properly?

Thanks,

/adam
