[6tisch] The "BEFORE" and "AFTER"

[Tengfei Chang <[e-mail]>]

Dear all,

As recently more discussion in the ML about the format of packet, sometimes
we say some header after/before the IPv6 header. I would like to clarify
this.

1. For me, I say with the way that mac header is the first header in the
packet and then, several Routing Headers are AFTER mac header (no mesh
header/fragmenet header in between).  IPHC header is AFTER those Routing
Headers.

2. However, with the view of constructing a packet, IPHC is first added
into packet, then RHs are placed AFTER IPHC, MAC header is constructed at
the end. (I feel pascal is using this way to describe the order of header,
right?)

What's the way when we describe something like this?

Thanks
