From 5bb1ab09e4f6287c0b6c9cdbd463147cbd003f54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David L Stevens Date: Wed, 9 May 2007 13:53:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [IPV6]: Send ICMPv6 error on scope violations. When an IPv6 router is forwarding a packet with a link-local scope source address off-link, RFC 4007 requires it to send an ICMPv6 destination unreachable with code 2 ("not neighbor"), but Linux doesn't. Fix below. Signed-off-by: David L Stevens Signed-off-by: David S.
