Is 6LowPan compatible with mobility?

[ckampi]

So I'm testing this scenario, is 6LowPan.py example with the simplest mobility option I found, but when I run it the graph shows up empty and for example if I try to get position of sensor1 from CLI:

mininet-wifi> py sensor1.position 'LowPANNode' object has no attribute 'position'

from mininet.log import setLogLevel, info
from mn_wifi.cli import CLI
from mn_wifi.net import Mininet_wifi

def topology():
    "Create a network."
    net = Mininet_wifi(iot_module='mac802154_hwsim')
    # iot_module: fakelb or mac802154_hwsim
    # mac802154_hwsim is only supported from kernel 4.18

    info("*** Creating nodes\n")
    sensor1 = net.addSensor('sensor1', ip6='2001::1/64', panid='0xbeef')
    sensor2 = net.addSensor('sensor2', ip6='2001::2/64', panid='0xbeef')
    sensor3 = net.addSensor('sensor3', ip6='2001::3/64', panid='0xbeef', position='10,150,0')

    info("*** Configuring nodes\n")
    net.configureWifiNodes()

    net.plotGraph(max_x=300, max_y=300)

    net.setMobilityModel(time=0, model='RandomDirection',max_x=100, max_y=100, seed=20)

    info("*** Starting network\n")
    net.build()

    info("*** Running CLI\n")
    CLI(net)

    info("*** Stopping network\n")
    net.stop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    setLogLevel('info')
    topology()

So I guess sensors are not compatible with mobility? On the normal scenario I'm able to move them around from the cli with the py sensor1.setPosition('10,10,0') command

WoW that was amazing fast, thank you Ramon for fixing it, now it works fine.

I'm still learning about mininet-wifi and 6lowpan, when using the script of the topic I run from the cli sensor1 ping6 2001::2 and the ping always work, even when the sensors are far away. I tried the example 6lowpan.py changing the position from cli and had the same result as well. is this normal?

[ramonfontes]

Yes. This is still "normal" because there is no solution for fakelb (neither mac802154_hwsim) that simulates the wireless medium. It works fine with Wi-Fi thanks to wmediumd that simulates the wireless medium created by mac80211_hwsim.

Ok tank you!
