I've not used these myself. Based on what I saw on the project web
page, 6lowpan seems like a pretty good name:
The goal of this project is to create an implementation of 802.15.4
and several protocols which run on top of it (primarily 6LoWPAN) for
Linux.
But a quick look around in my apt-cache turns up lowpan-tools. Seems
like that's what it's also named in Fedora land, so I'm thinking that's
probably the right call here, too.
