No, like Zigbee, we have chosen to implement only a subset of 802.15.4 and leverage recent sensor network research to keep code size to a minimum while still maintaining the functionality required by most all services.

If these are implemented by the CC2420 stack, are these features accessible through the GenericComm component ?
