In this case it's the Home Address. Because that's what the mobile node will
see in the IPv6 Destination Address field when it actually gets to process the
RPL routing header.

In the general case it's the final destination address of the routing header
immediately preceding the current one.

Also the Type 2 routing header segments left field must be 1 (Wireshark should
report this).
