Contribution description
AFAIU the
gnrc_sixloenc
enables 6lo encoding on ethernet.This can be useful for very slow busses, where we want to reduce traffic as much as possible.
I noticed that GNRC would still perform duplicate address detection on startup - this was because the 6LN flag was not set yet.
