Thanks for your explanation!
Is there any overview documentation on the current state of netdev
especially in RIOT-OS native? I really like Ludwig Knüpfers diploma
thesis for its good overview, too bad it's obsolete.

gnrc_sixloenc looks promising. I didn't find it in the docs, thanks for
pointing that out.

Best Regards,
Linda / Chamaeleon-
