security implemented code broadcasts messages instead of unicast

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2531

Hi,

I am using ZStack Home 1.1.0  and cc2531.   I enabled Network layer security in the stack and gave the same key to both coordinator and router and enabled the appropriate flags.

My doubt is when i send data from coordinator to the router using IEEE address of the router, the packet is being broadcasted. 

My question is when security is enabled, doesn't it send a network address request and get its network address and then unicast to it?

In the sniffer i see all broadcasts only no unicast messages.

Pl. help me on this.

Thanks in advance.

  • Did anyone observed this:

    When i network security in the Zstack Home  1.1.0, and sending data to a router by using its IEEE address from a coordinator, the data is being sent using broadcast. instead of resolving the router's network address and then sending the data unicast to the router.

    Does this does not happen in stack implementing network security?

    Pl help me.

    Thanks in advance
