It is a type field. Meaning it tells how to interpret the data that follows. If you are familar with ethernet for example, the ethernet type field (part of the MAC header, dest addr, src addr, type field) does the same thing. An ethernet type field of 0x0800 says that the rest of the packet is IP. AMtype performs a similar function. eric > > > Thank you. > _______________________________________________ > Tinyos-help mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help > -- Eric B.
