Hi,

I am investigating RFC 6775 (Neighbor Discovery Optimization for IPv6
over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs))
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6775

The RFC suggests some changes to neighbor discovery procedure for the
6LoWPAN networks. I was looking net/ipv6/ndisc.c and it seems that
ARPHRD type (from type field in net_device struct) is the only way to
detect and change the discovery procedure in the ndisc.c code. Am I
right with this assumption here?


Cheers,
Jukka
