<p>802.15.4 is a data-link and physical packet format for
low-power wireless networks that is used in many TinyOS platforms.
The TinyOS 2.0 active message layer adds a packet field for higher-level
the second format is for networks that share the spectrum with 6lowpan
networks[1]_.</p>

<p>802.15.4 supports several different source and destination addressing
modes, and so has a variable sized packet header.[2]_ A TinyOS device MUST
support packet frames with 16-bit short source and destination addresses.
A TinyOS device MAY support additional 802.15.4 frame formats.</p>

<p>TinyOS has two 802.15.4 frame formats. The first format, the T-Frame, is
for TinyOS networks which do not share their channel with other wireless
networking archtiectures. This frame format assumes that TinyOS can use
a 6lowpan packet, the code used MUST be in the range of 192-55.</p>
<p>The AM type 6lowpan is reserved. A TinyOS program MUST NOT use it.</p>
