While browsing through the ESP-now code I noticed that the maximum frame size is 250. IPv6 however requires for a minimum Maximum Transition Unit (MTU) of 1280 byte. If a protocol does not support such frame sizes an adaption layer (like 6LoWPAN) is required. Is there such a thing for ESP-now? Can we want to use 6Lo for it? Or am I reading the code of it wrong?
