Our messages crossed, Simon. 

> - IPv6 stack interacting with the adaptation layer

I'm not sure I agree with that (see my other mail), but if you're correct I really what to dig that and fix it.  Please read the other email I just sent and if you still see that the mapping is not there then please refine what the issue is exactly.


> - No one-to-one mapping between a RH3-6LoRH and a RH3

We can reconstruct an RH0 form from RH3 and from RH3-6LoRH, and recompress an RH0 into both as well. I fail to see what the problem is though I do hope that implementations never need to play that game. When the packet goes up the stack, the RH3-6LoRH should be gone, removed by the last router (which may be collocated).

Would you be willing to participate to the next 6TiSCH interim? We'll discuss that topic since it impacts the plugtest.

Cheers,

Pascal
