Hi,
I'm working with TinyOS on TelosB motes and I don't really understand the difference/relationship between IEEE 802.15.4 frames and TinyOS packets. I always use "packet" to refer to network layer data structures (for example an IP packet) and "frame" to refer to link layer data structures (for example, a Ethernet frame), so following with the IP/Ethernet analogy, does it mean that TinyOS packets are encapsulated into IEEE 802.15.4 frames when transmitted over the air? Is the frame type used by TinyOS by default the IEEE 802.15.4 link layer frame? Or another link layer frame type is used by default (I-Frame CC2420)? Is this last one a proprietary data structure? Thanks for your help!
