An example use might be someone wanting to model a network with 100 nodes. You could make 100 instances of a VM (not bad since they share pages) and then use the existing virtual Ethernet drivers as a network. The new code would allow 6lowpan and RPL to run in that environment. But is this really useful? What people are interested in is the RPL routing on the simulated network. Is it adding anything interesting to run 6lowpan too? It would give us a good platform for building a testing environment that could exercise all of the 6lowpan compression options. Or can we already do that using the existing fake drivers? > > With best regards, > Alex > > 9 апреля 2012 г. 23:41 пользователь jonsm...@gmail.com > <jonsm...@gmail.com> написал: >> On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 3:36 PM, Alexander Smirnov >> <alex.bluesman.smir...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> Hi Jon, >>> >>> do you mean to send 6lowpan packets over Ethernet? >> >> Yes.
