From c3a6114f31600b94ee10ebf62e4d493b401ade87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phoebe Buckheister Date: Wed, 14 May 2014 17:43:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ieee802154: add definitions for link-layer security and header functions When dealing with 802.15.4, one often has to know the maximum payload size for a given packet. This depends on many factors, one of which is whether or not a security header is present in the frame. These definitions and functions provide an easy way for any upper layer to calculate the maximum payload size for a packet. The first obvious user for this is 6lowpan, which duplicates this calculation and gets it partially wrong because it ignores security headers.
