Hey,

That sounds like the problem described in this issue [1].
The current master / release candidate version
should include a "workaround" fix for that.

Cheers,
Cenk

Hi everyone,

I'm testing COAP between RIOT on Phytec pba-d-01-kw2x and Linux on 
RasPi+Openlabs using ULA IP addresses.

On the Pi I run a 'radvd' to advertise a ULA prefix to RIOT, which works:
  - RIOT sends RS after boot
  - the Pi answers with RA containing ULA prefix
  - RIOT configures ULA IP on 6lo iface

COAP (or communication in general) via ULA IP works, as long as RIOT has the Pi 
in its routers cache. However, sometimes RIOT _forgets_ or does not set a 
routers entry for the Pi at all. In that case communication is not possible via 
ULAs, using link-local IPs works all the time. The issue seems be with the 
RS+RA processing. I found that sometimes RIOT does not create a routers entry 
on reception of a RA - though it does configure the ULA prefix correctly.

I just had the case that RIOT configures the ULA _and_ sets a routers entry, 
hence communication was working. At least for about 15min, but then RIOT send 
another RS, Pi answers with RA, RIOT still has ULA IP configured -- BUT the 
routers entry for the Pi is gone and communication fails. Again: using 
link-local IPs still works.

Btw. even when communication via ULAs is working, RIOT never creates a ncache 
entry for ULA IP of the Pi but it did create an ncache entry for link-local IP 
of the Pi. I thought the latter is not required/allowed in 6lo but for ULAs it 
should create an entry?

Has somebody else observed this behavior or any hints how to resolve this?

Thanks, best
   Sebastian
