In the same way as you create monitor devices. > I don't need this, I just want It was a change pending since long ago. > to understand the architecture.

Moreover what about devices with several wpan interfaces, where some of them should be 6lowpan, some of them should be zigbee (BTW: kernel implementation of zigbee seems to be impossible due to licensing agreements under which ZigBee Alliance provides specifications). > Can you mix 6lowpan and Zigbee on a net? Can you tell the headers apart? Theoretically yes, you can mix them. No, you can't easily tell them apart. The specified protocol handler should apply specific logic to drop unacceptable packets. -- With best wishes Dmitry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Linux-zigbee-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-zigbee-devel
