Link Layer Address Handling

  • Overview

  • API Reference

Overview

The link layer addresses are set for network interfaces so that L2 connectivity works correctly in the network stack. Typically the link layer addresses are 6 bytes long like in Ethernet but for IEEE 802.15.4 the link layer address length is 8 bytes.
