The motivation behind this module is to allow for address handling
functions where they, but not the full IPv6 functionality might be
needed. This new version of the IPv6 address data type utilizes the
byteorder.h header to enforce network byte-order on its members.
When setting the `ENABLE_DEBUG` flag to *1* in ip.c,
the **rpl_udp** example won't compile, because the variable `addr_str`
is also defined in **rpl_udp.h** as extern.
Prefixing `addr_str` with `static` in ip.c solves this problem.
Currently, the DIO options `dodag conf` and `prefix info` are off by two
bytes in their `length` field. The RFC states, that the length field
should not include the option `type` field and the `length` field (two bytes).
For Prefix Info Option: Option Length: 30 (RFC 6550, P.61)
For Dodag Conf Option: Option Length: 14 (RFC 6550, P.52)
Wireshark complains about DIOs as malformed packets, otherwise.
Can be reproduced by running the rpl_udp example and logging the DIOs
via wireshark.
This PR proposes an approach to reduce the thread count of RPL.
The current RPL/Trickle stack needs about 5 threads to handle tasks
like updating the trickle timer, routing entries and the transmission of
DAOs.
This PR modifies RPL to use only one thread with a looped `msg_recv()` call.
The message is then multiplexed to the right task.
This PR removes code depending on a routing table with an entries
size > 0. Currently, all those functions and symbols are compiled into the binary,
even when there is no effective space in the routing table (as it is the
case for normal nodes in non-storing mode)
``debug.h`` was included before ``ENABLE_DEBUG`` was set to 0 or 1. In consequence, setting ``ENABLE_DEBUG`` to 1 had no effect. This should be fixed now.
For some reason the call to aodv_packet_reader_handle_packet() got lumped in with the check if a received packet is ours. In consequence, all packets which were not sent by the node that received them (i.e. the important ones) were silently ignored, preventing any routes from being established.
This should be fixed now: foreign packets are now handled again, while own packets are ignored.
Also, I made the corresponding comment a bit less passive-aggressive.
Calling ipv6_iface_set_srh_indicator with storing mode breaks the
neighbour discovery code in **ip.c:480**.
Thus, it is not possible to use `send <n> test` from node to node.
