You are correct in your analysis. When I put together the first version 
of IPv6 for LwIP, I thought it was better than Contiki (I was a 
contributor/committer there too), but they have definitely worked a lot 
more on it since.

Patches, suggestions, code, bug reports, feedback, are very welcome and 
necessary. The IPv6 code was meant to be a starting point that works in 
most cases, to be improved by the community.

Now I have more kids and less free time to work on this, so it's up to 
anyone who wants to volunteer their time and knowledge to improve it. I 
can give my opinion and commit some patches, but that's about what I can 
offer right now.

Cheers
Ivan
