Description Tommaso Pecorella 2013-01-15 16:57:02 UTC

The Icmpv6OptionLinkLayerAddress should be able to carry any kind of MAC address, however it's only able to carry Mac48Addresses right now.
The problem is in the way it handles the address, the option size and the padding.

This patch can cope with Mac48 and Mac16 / Mac64 addresses as per rfc4944.txt, section 8.

I know those aren't (yet) in the ns-3-dev codebase, still...
