Hi Jon,

PAN-ID was removed from the latest header compression when forming the IPv6
address.

So how you use PAN-ID is totally up to you. That's essentially part of the
bootstrapping question. For example you could scan using 802.15.4 beacon
requests/beacons to decide which PAN-ID to join.

Regards,

I'm also unclear on how PAN IDs are dealt with. Does each PAN need a
unique IPv6 prefix? Then I need to track the mapping between prefix
and PAN ID?
