It seems that at EuroBSDCon there was a discussion of Contiki[1] and the uIPv6 stack[2] that it contains, and I think something like this could be a great future enhancement for netdump and similar consumers. Ideally I'd like to see us get to having a clean, simple API for transmitting and receiving packets and a basic stack that could be shared by netdump, as well as a network-enabled ddb, gdb backend, and perhaps console. Using the uIPv6 stack for this would get us v6 support (as the name suggests), as well as a supported / maintained stack vs. what is in netdump now. It's also BSD-licensed. This could be a good future project, although I think the current netdump implementation is worth bringing in soon (taking into account the good feedback received to date, of course).
