Hi! I am working with 6LoWPAN protocol, and I am dissecting some packets to understand it correctly. When I have started sniffing my own packets I set the address: fe80::0011:22ff:fe33:4455/64. When wireshark extract the information of this packets, the generated address is: 2002:db8::0011:22ff:fe33:4455 Why not FE80::...? As I've read in the RFC...? I am reading the internet-draft for 6lowpan comrpession of IPv6 datagrams of February 2011. Thanks in Advance asked 03 May '11, 01:43  Cesar Bernar... edited 04 May '11, 07:36  Gerald Combs ♦♦ |
One Answer:
Check your protocol preferences, for the expansion of address it needs to have a context. answered 03 May '11, 23:42  Jaap ♦ |
I don't fully understood your answer!
Where are the protocol preferences? Is there something I didnt read in the specification? Something from the operative system implementing the protocol? If this is in Linux and you know where it's the information, let me know :)
Thanks in advance. Cesar
Jaap is referring to Wireshark's 6LoWPAN protocol prefrences. You can change the preferences by right-clicking on "6LoWPAN" in the packet detail (middle pane) or by selecting Edit→Preferences→Protocols→6LoWPAN from the main menu.
(I've also converted your answer to a comment.)
