From 398bcbebb6f721ac308df1e3d658c0029bb74503 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:35:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [IPV6] ROUTE: Make sending algorithm more friendly with RFC 4861. We omit (or delay) sending NSes for known-to-unreachable routers (in NUD_FAILED state) according to RFC 4191 (Default Router Preferences and More-Specific Routes). But this is not fully compatible with RFC 4861 (Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6), which does not remember unreachability of neighbors. So, let's avoid mixing sending algorithm of RFC 4191 and that of RFC 4861, and make the algorithm more friendly with RFC 4861 if RFC 4191 is disabled. Issue was found by IPv6 Ready Logo Core Self_Test 1.5.0b2 (by TAHI Project), and has been tracked down by Mitsuru Chinen . Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S.
