A simple addition with significant performance implications:
...
sicslowpan tags TCP packets with the PACKETBUF_ATTR_PACKET_TYPE_STREAM
flag, which makes the underlying power-saving MAC layer keep the radio
on for some time after transmitting the packet. This allows reply
packets to be processed directly, significantly increasing TCP latency
and throughput.

Added a new module called "framer" that creates MAC level frames to

the packetbuf from packet attributes. Two framer modules are included,
one that creates 802.15.4 frame headers, and one that creates a
minimal "nullmac"-style header that only contains the link-local
addresses.

A new optimization to X-MAC: senders now keep track of when neighbors
...
last were known to be awake. When sending a packet, a sender does not
start to send strobes until the neighbor is expected to be awake. This
reduces power consumption for senders and decreases the contention in
the network as there are less packets in the air. Additionally, the
ACK optimization was improved so that data/ack exchanges now are
more efficient.
