for our current implementation we tried to change as little as possible in comparison to RFC 4944. Therefore, we also adapted the 802.15.4 frame format, though this was not the optimum choice as we had to deal with a much smaller packet size. (cc1100 supports natively only 64 byte packets.) Besides, we have a different addressing scheme at the link layer and have no PAN ids or anything comparable. In addition, we could not use 802.15.4 at the physical layer due to hardware limitations (neither DSSS nor PSSS are supported by the transceiver) and use a different media access. However, this obviously does not affect 6LoWPAN itself. > And, even better, can you write a draft? Okay, I'll try to do this and then we can see how generic such a specification could be.
