Alex,

I am referring to  the presentation you gave on  Netdev 2.1 IOT Without Things: Building virtual 6LoWPAN Mesh Networks
I am trying to connect PHY0 and PHY1  as shown in the presentation but so far Iam unable to do so.
I could get only following steps  from the video
echo “add 1 2” > /sys/kernel/debug/fakelb/edges
ip netns exec wpan0 sh ~/host lowpan0 0 &

Can you please provide the sequence of steps you used to connect PHY0 and PHY1 ?

You don't need containers. Only if you use more than one linux IP interfaces it's needed to avoid internal routing without hitting the mac layer.

You don't need RIOT, you can use RIOT... you can use whatever you want to connect to each other... question is if they will understand each other. For openthread you need their to speak their MLE protocol otherwise you will not get any communication.
