This patch also contains the Mac16 and Mac64 address improvements, as they are
mandatory for this module.
They are also in another code review: http://codereview.appspot.com/7691046/

This new version bounds the MAC address -> IP address conversion to the specific
use-case.
As is: if the "ForceEtherType" attribute is set, then the MAC addresses are
assumed to be Mac48Address (i.e., Ethernet-like). Else they could be either
Mac16 or Mac64 (802.15.4).
This fixes the problem that a Mac16 and Mac48 Addresses learnt from NS/NA are
exactly the same.

Hi Tom,
thanks for the review. I'll clean up the code and I'll make the tests.
To be honest I was planning to make some tests.
As a side note, /bow. You found a potential bug. Valgrind does pass, but we
didn't have any test case or example with the communications stopping in the
middle of a fragmented packet reception.
Do you have any plans to test fragmentation and header code? https://codereview.appspot.com/10945044/diff/55001/src/sixlowpan/test/sixlowpan-model-test-suite.cc File src/sixlowpan/test/sixlowpan-model-test-suite.cc (right): ...

Fragmentation: it is used in the example. I could modify the Ipv6's
fragmentation test if needed.
Headers: hard to test them "alone", since they're the result of other headers'
compression.
One could forge some headers and see the decompression results, but it's nearly
the same as transmitting a "normal" packet. Plus it would test only half of the
code.
I can say they're fine since they are correctly decoded by Wireshark in 802.15.4
case. Without 802.15.4, the only indirect proof is that the original headers are
back in place as they should be.
That's why I used UDP in the test. It's the one using all compression kinds.
Anyway, tomorrow I'll make the fragmentation test and another one (same as the
one already here, but with HC1 compression).

Fixed, along with copyright dates, on all the files. I'll push the right code
along with the two more tests.

In the meantime, the two tests cover both IPHC and HC1 compression kinds and
they do work (and Valgrind is ok with them).

The same applies to udp-header
All the tests passing and docs is complete (no warning except for tests and
examples).

Hi Mathieu,
Thanks for the review, it's very appreciated. here are the answers to your
questions.
About the namespace, I was thinking to remove it altogether... it doesn't seems
to be useful at all for real.
Cheers,

Correct analysis. It's a virtual class for all the 6LoWPAN headers. And all its
functions and enums are indeed public :)

Nope, IPHC and HC1 are two alternative compression mechanisms (defined in two
different RFCs).
The protocolNumber is there to "fake" the protocol number for Ethernet-like
protocols that have a protocol number on the MAC header.
802.15.4 doesn't have any protocol number in the header, so 6LoWPAN doesn't have
an official protocol number, hence the fake one.

The sixlowpan namespace doesn't affect NetDevice, since it's a sub-namespace.
I'll try to use ns3::NetDevice, but I was thinking to remove altogether the
sixlowpan namespace. Namespaces are used in a very inconsistent way in ns-3
modules, and I guess that we could as well do some thinking about it (in the
future).

Now the namespace is gone, and the headers are "normal" headers. The
SixLowPanDispatch class is still there only to provide conversion between "raw"
dispatch values and the correct dispatch types.
I could move the conversion functions into the SixLowPanNetDevice, but that
would imply a dependency between the header classes and the NetDevice, which I
don't like. or to have some functions returning an uint8_t instead of the proper
type, which I like even less.
If you're wondering why the conversion is necessary, the answer is simple: the
compressed header type represented by the dispatch is variable length. Hence,
you have to read a full byte and then decide what does it means.
E.g., LOWPAN_HC1 is 0x42, but LOWPAN_FRAG1 is [0xC0, 0xC7]. Damn, they use every
single bit.
Cheers,
T.
