I'm working on a 6lowpan implementation for Linux. I have it partially
running but I haven't implemented fragmentation yet so it isn't very
useful. The end goal is to get RPL implemented too. I haven't dug into
the RPL spec yet so my question may be handled by it.

Say the Linux node is in PAN 1. PAN 1 is meshed into PAN 2, 3, 4. How
do I ping a node in PAN 4?
Or is the answer to just put all of the nodes into a single PAN?
