A nodejs module to parse, create and test 6lowpan frames. Version 0.0.4 alpha

Installation

Via npm:

npm install 6lowpan

Features

• Initial iphc parse, iphc header and inline header

Examples

Example 1

var frameBuffer = new Buffer('60ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff', 'hex');

var sixlo = require('6lowpan');


	sixlo.parse(frameBuffer, function(data, error){
		console.log(data.pattern); // LOWPAN_IPHC
		console.log(data.iphc); // the iphc header 
		console.log(data.inline); // inline Header
		console.log(data.payload); // the payload remaining
	});

Example 2

var frameBuffer = new Buffer('60ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff', 'hex');

var sixlo = require('6lowpan');

var parse = new sixlo.iphc(frameBuffer);
var type = parse.type();
console.log('Pattern: ' + type);
console.log(type === 'LOWPAN_IPHC'); //true
console.log(type === 'IPv6' ); // false
console.log(type === 'LOWPAN_HC1' ); // false
console.log(type === 'LOWPAN_BC0' ); // false
console.log(type === 'ESC' ); // false
console.log(type === 'MESH' ); // false
console.log(type === 'FRAG1' ); // false
console.log(type === 'FRAGN' ); // false
console.log(parse.iphc());
console.log(parse.inlineHeader());
console.log(parse.payload());
