Create Source Route - 0x21
Description
This frame creates a source route in the device. A source route specifies the complete route a packet
traverses to get from source to destination. For best results, use source routing with many-to-one
routing.
There is no response frame for this frame type. Take care when generating source routes. An
incorrectly formatted frame will be silently rejected by the radio or cause unexpected results.
Note Both the 64-bit and 16-bit destination addresses are required when creating a source route.
These are obtained when the device receives a Route Record Indicator (0xA1) frame.
Format
The following table provides the contents of the frame. For details on frame structure, see API frame
format.
