Description Tommaso Pecorella 2014-02-13 16:49:57 UTC

The bug happens when you try to retrieve the interface according to its index.

SixLowPanNetDevice is returning its lower interface index. As a consequence, the two are misunderstood, and the lower layer index is returned by Ipv6PacketInfoTag.

When you check for the interface, the lower-layer one is returned instead of the proper one, raising errors.

In other terms, the technique described in http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/HOWTO_use_IP_interface_indexes
is not working.
