(usagi-users 00383) Re: Specifying the Next Hop Address

[Miguel Fernandez del Castillo <miguel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We would like to process Router alert packet in other computer outside
the path of the packet. Actualy we do it encapsulating the whole packet
in UDP and sending it to the box which has to process it,but that
solution means that a daemon should be running on that machine in orther
to deencapsulate the UDP datagram.
The rigth solution should be redirect the Router Alert traffic to the
"Process" Box with that ancillary data of IPv6, but If you know other
way I will be glad to hear about it.

Thanks,
	Miguel.
