I know that we can't support multiple lowpan interfaces on a single wpan at this time. If one could, via a macvlan like way, would we want to put different lowpan interfaces in different netns on top of the same physical radio. I'm also ignorant here: can one create macvlan against a physical interface into a netns? -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] mcr@sandelman.ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [
